More than 30 wooden boats will be featured in the following categories:  historic (prior to 1918), antique (1919-1942), classic (1943-1975), early contemporary (1976-1984) and late contemporary (past 30 years). The sizes of the wooden boats featured range from 9-foot to a massive 57-foot.

The Plein Air Art Festival is a three-day event that begins on Friday, July 16 through Sunday, July 18. More than 40 plein air artists will paint outdoor landscapes. The artists will be painting scenes throughout the community, and all are invited to watch them capture the beauty of Lakeside with their elegant creations.
