Norfolk, VA
United States
The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding in 1776 - the United States of America's Semiquincentennial.
For this milestone occasion, a fleet of the world’s most magnificent international tall ships and military ships, in an epic peacetime gathering, will sail into the port of Norfolk, Virginia as part of Sail250 America, from June 19-23.
In the tradition of the past five iconic OpSail events held in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads/Chesapeake Bay region since 1976, the fleet will once again bring extraordinary experiences and opportunities to every corner of our communities.
Sail250® VA is a once-in-a-generation event planned as part of the worldwide commemoration of this significant milestone in our nation’s history. Check out the details at: https://sail250virginia.com/
