Sail Philadelphia

On Thursday, May 24, a fleet of majestic ships will sail into Philadelphia for a five-day celebration honoring the sailing community and Philadelphia’s maritime heritage. Beginning with the Parade of Sail on Thursday, the festival will offer waterfront fun, ship tours, and sailing excursions throughout Memorial Day weekend, with festivities concluding on the evening of May 28.

Festival tickets, which range from $7 (adult Waterfront Festival ticket) to $150 (Sail Away tour during the Parade of Sail) per person and include admission to the Independence Seaport Museum, are now on sale via www.sailphiladelphia.org.
