Show Date: Saturday, July 25th at the Wolfeboro Town Docks – 9 a.m to 2 p.m.
Cocktail Reception Date: Friday, July 24th – Location TBA
Greetings antique boat enthusiasts!
We’ve announced our date for the 52nd Annual Lake Winnipesaukee Antique & Classic Boat Show, taking place this midsummer in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Our crew is making preparations for our largest event of the year and we’ll be adding information to this page as the season progresses.
We are continuing with our new casual show format, boats will not be ‘points judged’ for awards, but People’s Choice and Participant’s Choice awards will be given out as normal.
We’ll be hosting our Friday Night Cocktail Reception on the evening prior to the show, Friday July 24th, with location and time to be announced. This is a good opprotunity to socialize with other folks who will have boats in the show, as well as to enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, some cold some hot, and a wide range of beer and wine, coffee, tea and soft drinks.
We encourage all folks entering boats in the show to attend as it is a great opportunity to meet and socialize with both our Crew and other show participants. Our dock master will also give a talk and answer questions about how the show will be run the following day, which you’ll surely not want to miss.
More details on the Cocktail Reception are coming soon!
Group Run on the Thursday before the show!
We’ll be hosting a Group Run on Thursday, July 24. Should be a fun day to run our boats and get vibed up for the show! Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. Last year we took a great jaunt around the lake, check it out below:
Antique Cars on Display in the Parking Lot
We have set aside most of the parking lot for displaying antique vehicles. These spots are first-come first-serve, we suggest getting there before 9 a.m. to secure yourself a good spot. Registration for vehicles is done day-of-show, so be sure to check in with our Registrar at the gazebo when you first arrive. People’s Choice and Participant’s Choice awards will be given out for vehicles as well!
Parking for those trailering their boats to the show
If you are planning on launching your boat at the docks on day-of-show we recommend that you get there early in the morning, as soon as 7 a.m. as things can get quite busy as the morning progresses. There are two parking lots that can be used to park your trailer and vehicle, the Municipal Parking lot and the parking lot at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall
Municipal Parking
A hop, skip and a jump away from the town docks, a short walk back. Try this parking lot first, if it is full you’ll need to head up to the Brewster Academy parking lot at Anderson Hall.

Brewster Academy - Anderson Hall
Further away from the docks and not practical to walk back, but plenty of room! You’ll want to leave your trailer here and drive back to Municipal Parking downtown. The lot is located at 207 South Main St Wolfeboro NH 03894
