Quick and Dirty Boat Building Demonstration

This year’s event will be held on Saturday with great fanfare and fun!  Last year’s winning team, “Fiddlin’ Around”, from the Scallywags Boat Club of Skagit Valley College, will be back to defend their title with gusto and creativity to be sure!

In the 8th year, this event has become a mainstay of the festival and the enthusiasm for the work and energy just gets better.  That said, this could not happen without the commitment of the boat builders and their enthusiastic supporters!

Plaza Dance at the Depot Arts Center

anacortes_waterfront_festival_2015_danceCome down to the Depot Plaza on Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 6pm-8pm and enjoy an all age dance under the stars. The Plaza Dance (aka the Fishermen’s Dance) is an old tradition of the Anacortes community which staged big band concerts to welcome the salmon fishing fleet on summer weekends in the 1930s. We are bringing this dance back and invite the whole community to come out and enjoy the food, music and dancing. We also want to invite the community into the Anacortes Maritime Heritage Center for an open house celebration on the night of the Plaza Dance.

This event is FREE and is open for anyone and everyone to attend. Light refreshments will be provided, beer and wine will also be for sale thanks to the Anacortes Brewery.
