It takes place over the early May Bank Holiday weekend, and combines a boat rally with a trade show and a wide range of activities and entertainments, and claims the title of London's premier waterway event. In 2010 over 150 boats booked into the event – a record number. There were 70 stalls selling everything from herbs and potted plants to helmsman’s courses, distributed from the eastern end of the South Towpath, along the length of Warwick Crescent (for the first time), and all along the Paddington Towpath to Sheldon Square.

All caterers were assembled on the Stone Wharf and provided hog roast baps and baguettes, Lebanese specialities and cakes. The Real Ale bar traded briskly throughout the weekend. Bathed in glorious sunshine throughout Saturday, everyone said they were having a good time and later, in spite of the icy wind and rain, on Sunday and Monday too.
