Vintage boats, lakeside views, and free family fun in downtown Clear Lake
Calling all boat enthusiasts, lake lovers, and vintage vessel fans! The 24th Annual Clear Lake Antique & Classic Boat Show cruises into downtown on Saturday, July 19, 2025, and you’re invited to stroll the seawall and soak up the stories, craftsmanship, and history behind these one-of-a-kind boats.
What to Expect
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., classic wooden and fiberglass boats from makers like Chris-Craft, Century, Higgins, and more will be on display on land and in the water along the downtown seawall, right next to Clear Lake’s City Park. You’ll meet boat owners, hear restoration stories, and maybe even spot a family legacy or two floating in the harbor.

After the cruise, all registered boat owners are invited to a free social and awards presentation at the Clear Lake Yacht Club—a great way to wind down and celebrate.
