Three wooden tall ships will anchor at Dock Street Park and Intermediate Terminal during Richmond SailFest, June 12-14. Visitors can explore the Dutch schooner Oosterschelde, the 100-foot Pride of Baltimore II and the 122-foot schooner Virginia, all part of an international fleet visiting ports along the East Coast to mark America’s 250th anniversary.
Cohosted by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and the city of Richmond, the dockside festival will also feature reenactors, history and art exhibits, cultural performances, and live music, plus a fireworks and drone show on June 13.
The festival is free, but timed tickets are required to tour the ships. There’s no parking on-site; check the event website for travel suggestions.
