Wooden Boat Show
Georgetown festival (mid-Oct)
The Wooden Boat Show is a great festival hosted in downtown Georgetown along the Sampit River for more than two dozen years.
It’s an important exhibit featuring as many as 100 wooden boats, a boatbuilding competition and a model competition. The street festival also includes maritime arts and crafts plus some kids’ activities. Vendors offer food and beverage, or nearby bars and restaurants welcome guests. Of course live music is usually featured too.
The lovely setting and southern hospitality ensure an enjoyable event for spectators and participants. Plan on it for the third weekend in October and watch the website or social media for details.
