Events are a great reason to visit the marina and enjoy the culture and personality of the harbour city.  Nanaimo’s harbour provides a perfect drop back for annual marine-based events like the Nanaimo Marine Festival – World International Bathtub Race, Dragon Boat or Silly Boat Race.

The Boat Basin Marina and W.E. Mills Marina & Landing provide a front seat to these events and a 5-minute walk to Maffeo-Sutton Park along the Harbourside Walkway connects boaters to City events and music festivals.  These are the first dates to fill in the marina so best that you plan ahead.  Look at the Calendar of Events to plan your next visit to Nanaimo.
