Halloween Boat Burning 2025

Come join us Friday, October 24th for our Annual Halloween Boat Burning! Enjoy live music, clam chowder, lobster slidders, burgers, ice cream, hot chocolate, and so much more!

Here at the Long Island Maritime Museum we celebrate our own version of an autumn bonfire by burning a boat whose time has come.

Any of the boats we have burned since 1990 at our annual Halloween event have been vessels which are no longer safe to sail or restore. While it is sad to bid farewell to a boat, we also welcome the harvest of the fruits of labor of the volunteers in our Boat Shops, by raffling off a small boat built by these talented craftsmen.

We thank you for your support during the past year and invite you to join us in celebrating these events.
