One of the major attractions at the Tall Ships Challenge is the festivals that great the fleet of tall ships as they arrive in each port city. We encourage you to come on out and stop by the Great Lakes United Green Village at each festival. You can say hello to our staff, see what other environmental groups are doing in the region, and take part in interactive games and prize drawings! We've partnered with Shedd Aquarium to help spread the water conservation message. Come learn about what kind of work is being done to protect our Great Lakes, and find some ways that you can get involved. Each festival features entertainment and attractions reflective of the local culture, and each offers something fun for the whole family!
Below are links to resources for each of the port festivals; we hope to see you there!
