In 2022, The Tall Ships Races attracted 850,000 visitors to Antwerp. In 2026, we are happy to make it a sparkling event again! Antwerp will be host port from Saturday 11 July to Tuesday 14 July 2026. All Tall Ships, big and small, are welcome. Look forward to an attractive programme for both crew and public!
Antwerp is a bustling metropolis in the heart of Europe and one of the top three largest European ports. The city, city harbor and port are in full development. They are constantly renewing and growing. Antwerp has much to offer as a city with attractions, cosy catering establishments, museums or shopping streets. Worth discovering!
During The Tall Ships Races 2026, you will not only stop in Antwerp, but also in Aarhus, Harlingen, Stavanger and Aalborg. It will be a beautiful journey with attractive, international port cities. And you can rest assured, because together the host ports have already organised more than 20 Races, with more than 2 million visitors each time.
The Tall Ships Races could not happen without the beautiful Tall Ships. Will you join us in making it a fantastic event? Send an email to tallships@antwerpen.be if you are interested. We will look at the possibilities together and will be happy to make an irresistible proposal tailored to your ship. We look forward to welcoming your Tall Ship to Antwerp!
