Halifax Harbour
A new feature of the Tall Ships gathering is a unique community opportunity to participate in a Dalhousie University led, blue wave, as part of the Parade of Sail. We’re asking everyone attending the Parade of Sail to wear blue on both sides of the Harbour as we wave farewell to the fleet with a celebration of our ocean pride.
