    Note:  This date has been extended due to great response.    

    On Friday, June 19, 2026, The Parade of Sail escorting the international tall ship fleet will depart from the Lynnhaven Anchorage off the Virginia Beach Shore Drive Lesner Bridge area, sail through Hampton Roads, and into the Elizabeth River.

    Key Dates:  

    • March 10, 2026 - Last day to register to be part of BBSA fleet
    • Apr 15, 2026 - Last day to submit Escort Fleet form to Sail250
    • Jun 19, 2026 - Day of the Parade

    After the Parade of Sail to Waterside, vessels wishing to stay in the area are strongly recommended to anchor at Hospital Point as early as possible.  Due to the high boat traffic expected in the area all are advised to have appropriate anchor and navigation lights for large boats and also dinghies.  Some boats will simply return to their homeport rather than anchor overnight.
