This is the weekend…

Green Bay is celebrating the return of the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival®, once again expected to be one of the largest outdoor events in Northeast Wisconsin. Green Bay is one of only six American cities selected to host the TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE* Great Lakes 2013.

This three-day maritime festival features ship tours and day-sail excursions on nine tall ships along the Wisconsin Public Service Tall Ship Boardwalk. You’ll love the food, entertainment, and interactive family activities and the live music throughout the day from the North Coast Marine Manufacturing Alliance Stage. It’s a fun summer weekend on the waterfront!
