If you want to see, explore and sail Tall Ships, then a fleet of majestic tall ships will be visiting three locations in Ontario this year.
Brockville TALL SHIPS Festival
Organized by Tall Ships America, this spectacular event brings together majestic Tall Ships from across the Americas and around the world.
Held every three years, the series rotates between North America’s Great Lakes, Pacific, and Atlantic coasts. This year’s tour includes six host ports—three in Canada: Toronto, Midland, and Brockville; and three in the United States: Duluth, Detroit, and Erie.
Tall Ships visiting festival locations include Playfair, a Canadian brigantine; When and If, a storied schooner from Florida; Lettie G. Howard, a classic fishing schooner; EcoMaris, an eco-focused steel ship; Liberty Clipper and Pride of Baltimore II, majestic American schooners; Fair Jeanne, a brigantine from Ottawa; CCGS Griffon, a Canadian Coast Guard vessel; and Empire Sandy, Toronto’s iconic tall ship.
Visitors can enjoy interactive exhibits, tall ship tours, roving entertainers, food trucks, and engaging activities that offer an immersive dive into maritime history and culture.
