Toronto Waterfront Festival 2025 with the return of the Tall Ships

Sugary sweet and ready for fun, the 2025 Toronto Waterfront Festival is on this weekend June 28-29 and this year is the one in three where the Tall Ship fleet comes to town. The annual free to attend festival (except for boat tours and sailing) is now 15 years and full of land and water entertainment, presented by Redpath and happening around Sugar Beach at 11 Dockside Drive. The fun starts Saturday at 10am.

From the festival website, "Tour our fleet of historic Tall Ships and take one out for a sail. Plus, live entertainment, interactive activities, delicious food and tons of nautical fun! Tour the ships – The schooner, the better!"

The ships sailed into Toronto harbour on Friday, June 27 although Empire Sandy is a Toronto based Tall Ship. The nautical entertainment will take place on the George Brown Stage and here is some of the performers coming to the festival.
