Tall Ships® return to Green Bay - become a partner & reach tens of thousands!
Tall Ships Challenge® is returning to Green Bay once again and this time it is expected to be bigger and better than ever before. Twelve vintage vessels will sail through the Port of Green Bay, dock on the shores of the Fox River and host a three-day festival like you have never seen. Tall Ships Challenge® is an international festival of sailing pageantry!
This is the second time Green Bay will be an official host port of the American Sail Training Association (ASTA) Tall Ships Challenge®. It is also one of only six ports in the USA and Canada to be honored as a host in 2010. The event will kick off with the majestic Parade of Sail and Opening Ceremony and continue through the weekend with each ship offering educational tours that represent their own history, drama and splendor. Festival visitors will enjoy free entertainment and have a chance to partake in food and drink from dozens of vendors as well as shop for one-of-a-kind items from festival exhibitors.
