The Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival is an annual event held at the Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach, California. The festival celebrates wooden boats of all sizes including wooden canoes, kayaks, and dinghies, as well as yachts and tall ships.[1]

The first Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival was held June 6, 2014 and featured 47 boats on display.[2]
