Burning Boat Festival

Celebrate the dawn of 2024, and let's embrace all the beautiful possibilities the new year brings!

Join us for a family-friendly evening filled with warmth and joy. Gather around cozy propane fire pits, indulge in delicious s’mores, sip on steaming hot cocoa, and enjoy many more surprises. During the evening, write down your dreams, aspirations, and positive affirmations for the coming year, or reflect on the lessons learned or things to let go of in 2023. Place your notes into our specially crafted wooden boat, and we'll set the boat ablaze in a spectacular display, symbolizing the launch of our hopes and dreams into the future.

This unique wooden boat, expertly crafted by the talented students of Maritime High, is environmentally friendly, made from chemical-free, dry wood. We've meticulously planned every detail to ensure a safe, memorable, and magical experience for all.

All proceeds for the 2023 event will support children experiencing homelessness in the Highline School District. Funds are being raised directly to the Highline Schools Foundation.
