Tall Ships Festival

Maritime festivities fill Cleveland’s harbor this weekend as 12 historic tall ships float in. You may not be able to be a real-life pirate but these historic ships will bring you back to the days of exploration and adventure. Visitors can board vessels, meet crew, and experience history. Certain ships also offer sail-away fun. Gates open today at 9:30 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. and various events will run through the weekend. (William Hoffman)
