The Tall Ships are sailing back to the city for the Toronto Waterfront Festival, happening June 28 – 29, 2025, at Sugar Beach. This year’s nautical lineup is making waves, with three U.S.-based beauties — Ernestina-Morrissey, Liberty Clipper and Lettie G. Howard — making their Toronto debut.
Fan favorites like the towering Empire Sandy, Canada’s largest passenger ship of her kind, and the sleek Pride of Baltimore II are also docking once again for all your high-seas photo ops. Visitors can hop aboard for ship tours, enjoy live music, check out interactive activities and food vendors, and even take to the water on the Empire Sandy’s daily cruises.
This free, family-friendly event promises maritime fun with a historic twist. Tickets for ship tours and sail-away cruises are available online, so get yours before they’re gone.
