1000 Islands Family Free Day

 Saturday, June 5, 2027 | 10 am – 5 pm

Admission is free all day!

Kick off summer on the St. Lawrence River with 1000 Islands Family Free Day at the Antique Boat Museum! This annual community celebration brings families, friends, and neighbors together for a day of free admission, hands-on activities, and fun along the waterfront. From crafts and interactive experiences to local organizations sharing their programs and resources, there’s something for visitors of all ages to enjoy.

Explore the Museum’s exhibits, discover the rich boating history of the 1000 Islands, and enjoy family-friendly activities throughout our waterfront campus. 1000 Islands Family Free Day is our way of welcoming the community to the Museum, celebrating the start of summer, and sharing everything that makes the River such a special place.

Check back in spring 2027 for more details about activities, special programs, and everything planned for this fun-filled day on the River!
