Flotillas of the finest examples of historic boats will grace Northwich riverside over the weekend, there will be grand daily parades with live expert commentary as the fleet winds its way through town wharf accompanied by Brass bands and traditional folk music.
The boats exhibited will cover the whole spectrum of inland waterways craft. Vintage canal narrow boats, motors, butties, Dukers and working boats many of which return home to the place they were built, Yarwoods of Northwich.
