Tall Ships Nova Scotia Festival
July 16 - July 20
"This is the only way to experience a Tall Ship, short of sailing on one."
Come to Nova Scotia for the international gathering of world-class Tall Ships from July 16 to August 1, 2009. Having hosted Tall Ships gatherings four times over two decades, Nova Scotia is no stranger to the visitors who come to see these grand ships in Halifax and ports across Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia provides the perfect setting for a Tall Ships event. The atmosphere, the tradition and the opportunity to follow the ships around the province is an experience that is offered to the visitors and people of our province during Tall Ships Nova Scotia 2009.
