'Get ready, get excited, get involved’ – with one year to go until the Tall Ships arrive in Aberdeen

Tall Ships Aberdeen 2

Exactly one year from today The Tall Ships Races will arrive in Aberdeen – and organisers are urging people across the north-east to: 'Get ready, get excited, get involved’.

The Tall Ships Races will be Scotland’s biggest event in 2025 and is expected to attract at least 400,000 visits from 19 to 22 July 2025.

To mark this milestone date more details have been unveiled of the spectacle, fun and excitement, including an eye-catching map highlighting where the majestic Tall Ships will berth in Port of Aberdeen. The four-day maritime festival will transform the quayside in Port of Aberdeen’s North Harbour into a world-class event space, with a spectacular forest of masts as more than 50 vessels from across the globe berth there, ready to welcome visitors on board.

The quaysides will host a rich range of attractions from food and craft stalls to street performers during the Tall Ships Races, which has been brought to the city in a concerted effort between Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeen Inspired and Port of Aberdeen.

“The benefits offered by the Tall Ships are almost limitless and I would urge everyone – from young people to major organisations – to make the most of this once-in-a-generation event.”

Bob Sanguinetti
CEO, Port of Aberdeen
