ALTON BAY — The New Hampshire Boat Museum will host the 47th annual Alton Bay Boat Show at the Alton Town Docks on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 9 a.m. to noon. The event, which draws visitors from across New England, features antique wooden and early classic fiberglass boats built before 1975.
“This is a cool event,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings. “It offers attendees the opportunity to get up close to vintage and classic boats, and talk with the people who own them.”
Docking is first-come, first-served. Pre-registration is not required, although boat owners are encouraged to arrive before 9 a.m. The event is free for spectators, who vote for their boat favorite to determine People’s Choice Award first, second, and third place winners.
“The show is fun for spectators of all ages,” said Cummings. “The boats that come are beautiful and there are always surprises.”
The boat show is part of Alton’s Old Home Day festivities.
