Now in its 25th year, the Sultana Education Foundation’s Downrigging Weekend Festival is one of the largest annual tall ship gatherings in North America. The festival features a long-weekend of Tall Ship sails, tours, incredible live bluegrass music, lectures, exhibits, family activities, regional food and more. Proceeds benefit the Foundation’s environmental literacy programs and the other nonprofits participating in the festival.

Always a highlight of Downrigging, the festival’s fleet of Tall Ships will venture out onto the Chester River together four times, taking over 1,000 people sailing. Explore the ships during three free scheduled deck tours.
