2026 Boat Festival Registration

WELCOME TO

 

THE 45th ANNUAL ANTIQUE BOAT FESTIVAL ON LAKE DORA 2026

 

REGISTRATION PORTAL



Portal Status:   CLOSED

All event registration is now closed


Please plan to arrive on THURSDAY, March 26, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
The registration booth, launch ramp, and boat setup will be closed at 5 p.m. sharp, so you need to have your boat in place by then.
EVERYONE who pre registered MUST come through the Registration Booth at 123 S. Joanna Ave, Tavares, upon arrival, even those who did an EVENT-ONLY registration.
You will not be granted access into the show grounds until you have your packet.
Your packet will contain your show passes, event tickets, boat placard, and important instructions for boats in the water.
If you are bringing a boat for water display, DO NOT go to the launch ramp or directly to the docks until after you have your registration packet.
You will be getting important information about the placement of your boat that the dock master needs before he can direct you to your slip.
If you arrive at the launch ramp without your packet, you will be turned back until you have your packet.
If you plan to come by water, please plan to tie up elsewhere, come ashore, and come to the Registration Booth.
We recommend that you drive to Tavares to get your packet prior to bringing your boat over by water.
In all circumstances, REGISTRATION IS YOUR FIRST STOP!
Please contact Trudi Miklos at 724-312-3993 or tmiklos4@yahoo.com prior to your arrival if you have questions.
Thank you, and we’ll see you on Thursday!

The 45th Annual Antique Boat Festival on Lake Dora March 27, 28, 29, 2026.
please call Trudi (724-312-3993) if you need assistance with your existing registration



The Sunnyland “Registration Portal” Is your gateway to all our show events Both “public” and “participant” all event registrations must be done through the portal.

* Pre-registration is a must for all events as the show fills up quickly.  Additional tickets are unavailable once limits are met or registration closes.

* Your ACBS membership number is required for in-water show participant registration. If you are not registering to have your boat in the water, or are doing an event-only registration, no membership number is required.

* A photo of your boat is required for all boat displays (water, land, and for sale/field of dreams) to help our dock master and land display captains place your boat. Please have an electronic photo of your boat ready to upload before you begin the registration process.

* Click the link below to enter the portal then select the icon for your registration type.

Important note about volunteering:





As we continue to work hard to make each year a better experience for our members and visitors, as well as run things more efficiently behind the scenes for the many, many members who volunteer their time to make this show a success.
If you normally volunteer and wish to continue to do so this year, please contact any of us and we will add your name to our volunteer list.
Thank you!
