Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival

Tall Ships Are Coming® Twelve vintage vessels will sail into the Port of Green Bay, dock on the shores of the Fox River and host a three day festival as part of American Sail Training Association’s (ASTA) 2010 Tall Ship Challenge.®

Green Bay is one of only seven ports in the USA and Canada and the only port
in Wisconsin to be honored as a host.

An international festival of sailing pageantry!

Visitors will be able to tour the ships - each offering their own historic story. Relaxing sailaways, free entertainment and food and drink from dozens of vendors make this truly one of a kind festival experience. In addition, the Baylake Bank Tall Ship festival will include environmental programming on protecting our earth’s natural resources.
