About Australian and Overseas Classic Boats and Events
The Lake Macquarie Classic Boatfest is an annual Easter 2 day free event commenced in 1995 as "Heritage Afloat".
Lake Macquarie Classic Boat Association was incorporated as a charity in 2010 to run future events, largely comprising the dedicated volunteers who organised over the previous years.
New members are most welcome to join our team of volunteers for this years event. Learn the ropes from the old boaties, so that you can continue this special event in future years for your children and grand children.
