When the tall ships depart for Boston on July 9, 2026, their route will take them along Long Island’s South Shore. Organizers of the New York Harbor events say they will also work with area yacht clubs to bring members with sailing and power boats to the city for the Fourth of July parade.

NYC plans "Sail 4th 250," a tall ships parade, for America's 250th birthday in 2026, expected to generate over $1 billion in tourism.

NYC will host "Sail4th 250, " featuring the arrival of 30 tall ships and 40 gray-hull vessels from around the world on July 4.
