Sail Portsmouth Festival - Parade of Sail and Flotilla

About the Event

Starts at mouth of the Piscataqua River and ends in the vicinity of the Memorial Bridge.

The Parade of Sail kicks off Sail Portsmouth with our visiting tall ships escorted by hundreds of private pleasure craft and commercial fishing boats up the Piscataqua River to the Memorial Bridge and then to the docks.

Tall ships sailing in the Parade will be USCGC Eagle, S/V Denis Sullivan, and Schooner Ernestina-Morrissey.

Owners of private vessels are welcome to join the festivities by joining in the Parade and escorting the tall ships up the river.

The ships will begin the parade at 10:30am, and expect to be in the downtown Portsmouth area at 11:15am.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
