About
Baltic Sail is Gdańsk's tall ships festival, held in the city since 1997. Sailing ships moor along the Motława in the Old Town, and the Szanty pod Żurawiem shanty festival plays on land beside them. Kids can walk the quay looking up at the masts, then head to the children's zone to learn sailors' knots, sew their own flag and watch an Optimist dinghy take shape.
