A full featured event that looks to bring some of the most iconic vessels from across North America to the heart of Toronto, the Redpath Waterfront Festival celebrates heritage in a fun, modern atmosphere. The Tall Ships arrived in full style and exited the scene in true prestige with sails fully extended to wow audiences.
The weekend-long Redpath Waterfront Festival not only celebrates all that the heritage ships have to offer, but also included such fantastic events as hit musical acts and flyboarding; if you aren't familiar with the sport, it consists of strapping on water-powered jetpack-style boots and soaring skyward to perform tricks and dives in the water.
A perfect blend of all aspects of waterfront life, the Redpath Waterfront Festival kicked off the summer with a bang and offered visitors an experience that will last long after the tall ships have set sail.
