About the Event
Join us for the 4th of July Wagon Wheel at Quartermaster Harbor, WA, from July 4–6! This unforgettable anchoring event brings together boats in a perfectly formed circle—affectionately known as the Wagon Wheel.
We need at least 21 boats to form the wheel, but it’s not a limit—all are welcome!
To help us plan, please sign up for the cruise so we know you’re coming.
The wheel formation will begin the afternoon of July 4. We’ll be monitoring VHF Channel 68 to guide boats into position. You may need to wait patiently while we get everyone placed—thank you in advance! Every boat will be asked to put down an anchor at the direction of the wheel master.
Fireworks from the barge will begin about 45–60 minutes after sunset, once it's fully dark.
(Sunset is at 9:09 PM.)
Disassembly will begin at 9:00 AM on Sunday, July 6, and must follow a specific order due to the anchoring configuration. Please do not ask to leave early, it's makes it difficult for everyone.
This is a no-host, no-cost cruise—just bring your boat and good vibes.
