The Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival celebrates 30 years on the banks of the beautiful Tchefuncte River on October 12-13, 2019. Presented by the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum, this premier family event attracts over one hundred classic boats, hundreds of spectator boats, and wooden boat and music enthusiasts for this two-day celebration.

With a dual focus on science and outdoors, the festival welcomes The Woodlands Conservancy, a non-profit land trust organization, which will be providing children with the opportunity to plant native seeds in peat containers that they can take home to plant in their yard. They will be attending the festival on Saturday only, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
