The Tall Ships Regatta is a transatlantic race of 7,000 nautical miles which takes place over the course of five months in six countries.  The Tall Ships will be in Halifax from July 29th – August 1st, 2017.

There is so much going on in Halifax and Dartmouth to celebrate this historic event. Explore George’s Island, have a picnic on McNab’s – or just have a fun time bouncing with Pirates at Alderney Landing! Plus, there are fireworks on all three nights: Saturday, Sunday and Monday! The festival ends with the spectacular Parade of Sail on Tuesday, August 1st at noon.

Here’s a list of our top picks for families during the Tall Ships. For updates, please check the Tall Ships Events Schedule:
