Shilshole Boatfest is an event dedicated to getting new people into boating. This FREE Shilshole Bay Marina event sponsored by the Port of Seattle invited the public to the marine to get out on a boat; learn how to get into boating, about boating safety and environmental practices; and to celebrate the Ballard Community.

Featured activities will include free boat rides, food trucks, live music, kids activities, and a festival of Ballard community vendors.
