Festival Highlights
Harbor Side Wooden Boat Display
Wooden boats and watercraft blanket campus all weekend long
as boat builders and wooden boat enthusiasts gather and share
insight about their watercraft.
Registration form coming soon!
Boats-to-Tools Auction
The auction serves as a great resource for boat owners
and enthusiasts, tool collectors and the ‘do-it-yourselfer’ to find
a new home. In turn, your participation in the auction is a
great way to support North House Folk School’s educational efforts. In 2011
almost 400 items were on the block!
Wooden Boat Speaker Series
Watch, listen, be inspired. The adventurous and spirited
journeys of sailors, boat builders and canoeists converge for two
days of inspirational presentations.
A Community of Handcraft
Witness skilled traditional craft
artisans as they join as a community over the weekend to celebrate
the process of craft. Demonstrators will be on hand Friday-Saturday,
welcoming your curiosity, questions and interest.
Lake Superior Chowder
Experience Salsa corn,
walleye, trout and clam...combined with freshly baked breads from North
House’s wood-fired oven, a North Shore culinary event not to be
missed.
Steam Bent Brunch
Share stories, smile together, eat well. Boat builders,
North House members, instructors and friends of North House gather
to share a meal together during the Wooden Boat Show & Summer
Solstice Festival. Enjoy a ‘Sunday-Style’ brunch catered by our good
neighbors, The Pie Place.
On The Harbor Games
Discover the historical background of Lacrosse. Try
your hand at Kubb, a maritime game with roots in the boatbuilding
yards of Scandinavia. Get on the water, in a canoe, for a game
of Deadfish Polo.
