Final Festivities of The Tall Ships Races 2025 Light Up Esbjerg

August 6, 2025

Emotions were high on the last crew parade and prize giving of The Tall Ships Races 2025

Over 60 vessels took part in yesterday’s parade, which saw thousands of crews and trainees set off for the final time during The Tall Ships Race 2025.

Starting at the westernmost part of Kongensgade, a traditional night watchman paved the way for our lively crew, who showcased their culture and creativity with handmade costumes, masks and props. A huge effort all around, which was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone, as crowds smiled and cheered along the main street of Esbjerg city.

The Main Square was where the party truly got started. Energy and emotions were high as crews came together to dance and celebrate in front of the main stage ready and waiting for the final prize giving ceremony of 2025.
