Festival to be confirmed when funding is in place

We hope that Victoria’s scenic Inner Harbour will provide the backdrop to our Summer 2014 event - one that will touch the hearts and minds of thousands of visitors. During four unforgettable days of revelry and celebration, we will commemorate the city’s maritime heritage with the visit of historic Tall Ships from around the world.

This very popular international event means Victoria will have an unprecedented opportunity to experience history first hand. Visitors will be able to walk the ships' decks, touch the massive timbers, look up through the rigging at the sky, watch a cannon battle at sea, and turn the clock back to a time when our city's future was being built by ships like these.

We are also planning an ambitious program of interactive educational activities, concerts, craft fairs, and other festive events that will delight all of our visitors.

Pending secured funding,

the Tall Ships will be back in Victoria in the summer of 2014.  Make sure you signup for our updates & alerts (or via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) to stay informed about new developments and  additional ships.  

Be one of the first to know as soon as the festival is confirmed.  We'll keep you updated!
