Navy Pier proudly welcomes over 20 majestic and historic Tall Ships from around the world as they make a rare return to Chicago, Tuesday 8/24 through Sunday 8/29.
For the first time in Chicago, a Tall Ships festival of this size and importance will be located in one place — in a mile long display at Navy Pier.
The pageantry kicks-off with an opening day Parade of Sail on Lake Michigan as these storied ships with their billowing sails make their way to Navy Pier's docks, set against the backdrop of our world-famous city skyline. This breathtaking spectacle heralds the start of this long awaited festival celebrating the rich maritime heritage of both Chicago and Navy Pier.
