Victoria Classic Boat Festival

Each Labour Day weekend, the Victoria Classic Boat Festival transforms the Inner Harbour into a vibrant showcase of nautical history. With more than 100 classic wooden boats on display—from sailboats and working vessels to elegant motor yachts—this event celebrates the craftsmanship and stories behind B.C.'s maritime past.

Located just a short walk from Coast Victoria Hotel by APA, this family-friendly festival invites guests to get up close to these historic vessels, meet their passionate owners, and enjoy dockside entertainment. It's a must-see for boat lovers, history buffs, and anyone looking to embrace the coastal charm of downtown Victoria.
