Overview
The majestic grandeur of some of the most famous Tall Ships will grace the Detroit Riverfront Aug. 7-10 during the Sail Detroit festival, organized by the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority. This family-friendly event will showcase tall ships ranging in size and style with most of the activities centered at the Port Authority headquarters located between Hart Plaza and the Renaissance Center.
