Step back in time and soak in the charm of maritime history at this unforgettable event! A majestic fleet of vintage boats—each with over 25 years of stories to tell—will glide through the harbor in a breathtaking parade of craftsmanship and nostalgia. Listen as the procession is announced across the harbor, creating an atmosphere of excitement and appreciation.
Enjoy the parade from anywhere in the harbor—it’s completely free! Or, for an even richer experience, watch from the Shipyard and stay for the Pier Party, where the celebration continues. Tickets for the Pier event must be purchased in advance. With delicious appetizers, a full bar, and the chance to admire these stunning vintage vessels up close on the docks, it’s a gathering of elegance and fun. Dance to live music, and feast your eyes on a stunning display of vintage motorcycles and classic cars gathered at the shipyard.
This is more than an event—it’s a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and the stories behind every boat, bike, and car. Don’t miss out! Limited tickets are available.
Tickets are $65* per spectator which includes entry to the Pier Party event along with one drink ticket (wine/beer or soda). Full cash bar is available, credit cards accepted. Please note that tickets need to be purchased online BEFORE entry to the event.
We love dogs but only service dogs allowed on the pier. Food is not permitted down on floats, up on the pier only
Doors open at 4:30, food service and entertainment begins at 5:00.
