Classic Workboat Show

Saturday, May 16 @ 10 a.m.–4 p.m.

Recurring Event (See all)

Our annual Classic Workboat Show is happening at Lake Union Park May 16th & 17th, 2026.  

Every year we gather a group of visiting tugboats, fishing boats, and emergency response vessels at Lake Union Park for you to come see, step aboard, and experience. Some are retired classics and others are still on the job, moving cargo, keeping our waterways safe, or bringing home the catch. Meet the captains and crew and get an up close look at the long-established prime movers of our regional economy! 

The show is free and is open to everyone. In additional to boat tours, there will engine demonstrations, and beverages available for a small donation.

 This event is produced by Northwest Seaport and sponsored by leaders on our working waterfront.
