2023 St. Pete Festival

Thursday, March 30 – Sunday, April 2, 2023

Serving as the first host port of the TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE® Gulf Coast 2023 race series, St. Pete is honored to welcome a fleet of historic ships from harbors through the United States and Spain, March 30-April 2, 2023. 

Immerse yourself in our nation’s rich maritime history while aboard these celebrated ships. The grand fleet will be docked along the St Petersburg waterfront.
