returns to Baltimore City and Baltimore County this fall with an exciting line-up of
ship tours, festivals, flyovers, and educational activities, taking place IN-PERSON
September 7-13, 2022, at the Inner Harbor, Locust Point, Fells Point, and Martin
State Airport.

FLEETS: Ships begin arriving in Baltimore on Wednesday, September 7 and will include United States, British and Canadian naval ships, U.S. Coast Guard vessels, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric) and Army Corps of Engineers working vessels, the USS John Brown, and the Savannah as well as traditional sailing ships including the Danish sail-training tall ship Danmark. They will be docked at various locations around Baltimore, including the Inner Harbor, Fells Point and North Locust Point, and tours will be available from September 8-12 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. (Official list of vessels will be available 30 days prior to the event.)

In North Locust Point (Under Armour Pier), the HMS Richmond (F 239, Great Britain) is the seventh Royal Navy ship to proudly bear the name. She enjoys strong affiliations in both Richmond upon Thames (Southwest London) and Richmond, North Yorkshire, England. Classified as a Type 23 frigate, she recently spent time in the Arctic working alongside NATO allies during the largest military exercises in the region in over 30 years. Her ship’s motto is A Deo et Rege (From God and the King).  

FLIGHTS: NEW this year, there will be an exciting series of flyovers of military aircraft, September 9-11 from 10 am-6pm, centered at Baltimore’s iconic Inner Harbor. Event-goers will enjoy seeing and hearing the roar of jets overhead while strolling around the festivals or taking tours, providing access to more people than in previous years.
