The Agate Bay waterfront will also have a full complement of vendors, artisans, food, music, entertainment and a craft beer garden. This year's attractions include onboard tours, day-sails and a grand Parade of Sail. Ticketholders will get e-mail blasts about traffic and parking starting in January, Samborski said. "We have more than we had in Duluth," he said. In all, there will be more than 1,500 spaces available. There also is a parking plan in development, but it will include spaces at the town's high school and Lake County Fairgrounds. In December, Samborski said he will meet with Swanson and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to work out traffic logistics. In Two Harbors "there will be lots of room to spread out," he said. But those figures included those who jammed the canal piers and adjacent parkland and were not paying customers, Samborski said.

Samborski already had taken a bike ride along Lake Superior in Two Harbors to scope out the area with the idea of moving the event north from Duluth. 4-7 event, which will feature a record 12 majestic ships docking in the North Shore town of about 3,500 people. Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson offered to host the Aug. "Postponing the 2022 event was not an option," Festival of Sail producer Craig Samborski said. The Festival of Sail Lake Superior featuring tall-masted ships of yesteryear will have a new port of call next summer as the popular maritime-themed event moves from Duluth to Two Harbors.ĭuluth has hosted the event five times over the years - most recently in 2019 - but construction of a new sea wall and future event space along the city's waterfront meant the festival needed a new venue.
