Experience the colour and excitement of this award winning festival at Goolwa.

The Festival held within the Goolwa Wharf Precinct provided a weekend filled with on water and on land action, loads of entertainment and opportunity to get up close and personal with wooden river vessels, from elegant yachts to sleek classic speedboats. 

There was plenty to see and do for all the family on both water and land in 2013;

International guest GRIFF RHYS JONES  officially opened the Festival at 12.30pm Saturday, participated in the Rough and Ready Boat Building competition, participated in sailing races and screened `Three Men in a Boat` at Signal Point.
