Event details

Note: This festival is not coming to Duluth in 2026.

Duluth’s harbor becomes a living postcard when tall ships and festival crowds share the Lake Superior waterfront for the Festival of Sail. Spend your day touring decks, watching the Parade of Sail under the Aerial Lift Bridge, and booking on-water sails when available. Between ship visits, roam the waterfront for food, music, and family-friendly programming, all centered near Harbor Drive by the DECC and Canal Park.
