Port Aransas Preservation Association Wooden Boat Festival

Our organization has operated the Farley Boat Works in Port Aransas, Texas since 2011.  We help individuals and families build small wooden boats.  Each year we have our Wooden Boat Festival inviting any owners of wooden boats to come and display their boats and we sell kits that we manufacture so that 5 families can build their own boat over the 3-day weekend of our event.

This year our Festival will occur from October 25th through October 27th at Robert’s Point Park, located next to the City’s Public Marina.  We will have both an area in the park where boats on trailers can be displayed as well as dock space for in the water displays.

In addition to the boats we will have many activities for families, an area for vendors to sell their items, and music both day & night.
