Queenscliff Maritime Weekend – Classic Boat Exhibition and Berthing in the Harbour
7–8 March 2026 - Queenscliff Harbour
Queenscliff Harbour is proud to host the Queenscliff Maritime Weekend Classic Boat Exhibition on 7–8 March 2026, as part of the Harbour & Horizon: Queenscliff Maritime Festival.
We invite owners of classic and wooden boats to showcase their vessels in the Harbour Boatyard, creating a vibrant display that celebrates our region’s rich maritime heritage.
We also welcome maritime tradespeople and craftspeople who would like to demonstrate traditional skills and techniques over the weekend, adding to the live, hands-on atmosphere of the event.
Take Part in the Weekend
In addition to the exhibition, participating boat owners are invited to join the Blessing of the Fleet & Sail Past at the Queenscliff Lifeboat Pier on 7 March — a highlight of the festival celebrations.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a much-loved community tradition and to help bring the harbour to life.
