Huntington Cleveland Harborfest – July 12 – 16

The Channel 3 Parade of Sail on Wednesday, July 12th is the official kick of this year’s Harborfest, sponsored by Huntington Bank and produced for the first time by the Great Lakes Science Center and the Steamship William G. Mather Museum. One by one the magnificent Tall Ships are escorted into the harbor to take up their dockside positions for their stay with us in Cleveland.

Starting Thursday morning and running through Sunday evening, the Huntington Cleveland Harborfest features ship tours, kids’ activities, a maritime marketplace, stage entertainment, roving performers, food vendors and more.

Event Location

The festival is located in North Coast Harbor between East 9th Street pier and Dock 32, new home of the Steamship William G. Mather Museum. The Tall Ships will be docked along East 9th Street pier, on the north wall at Voinovich Park and in the inner harbor adjacent to the Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
