Sail from to Salem to Gloucester for the Schooner Festival!

The Gloucester Schooner Festival celebrates the contribution of the fishing schooner to the history of New England. Up to 30 schooners of all shapes and sizes from all over the East Coast will be there! On Sunday of Labor Day weekend, the schooners form up for a Parade of Sail and then head out to race. We depart from Salem at 8 AM, sail to Gloucester, jump into the Parade of Sail, and then sail out with the competing schooners before returning to Salem around 1:30. The most photogenic event of the season!
