LAKE MACQUARIE CLASSIC BOATFEST
ABOUT THE EVENT
Lake Macquarie Classic Boatfest invites the participation and exhibition of traditional and classic boats - steam, sail, motor and oared craft of all sizes from all over Australia. Boats must be of a design prior to 1981 but may have been built at anytime from any material.
The Lake Macquarie Classic Boatfest is an annual event originally called Heritage Afloat.
The festival utilises the Toronto foreshore, the parklands, launching ramps and the waterfront enclosure and jetties for a wide range of marine related activities. A parade of boats, sailing, model boat demonstrations and races, blessing of the fleet, displays relating to classic boat activities, kids games, entertainment and of course the "Quick and Dirty" boat building competition all combine to make the Lake Macquarie Classic Boatfest a wonderful experience for people of all ages.
The wonderful eateries of Toronto located close to the foreshore will cater for all tastes whilst enjoying the spectacle of the boats and activities through out the weekend.
