Le Havre Celebrates with the Crew Parade and Prizes On Day Two

July 6, 2025

The second day of celebrations in Le Havre saw thousands of spectators line the streets to see the spectacle of the customary Crew Parade before the first Prize Giving Ceremony of the series.

The atmosphere today here in Le Havre was electric, as thousands of visitors lined the docks to enjoy the crew parade circle around the Bassin Paul Vatine, as they made their way towards the main stage on day two of The Tall Ships Races.

Shabab Oman II provided the perfect backdrop as the crews gathered for the first prize giving ceremony of the race series, soaking up the atmosphere as they cheered, danced and sang in celebration.
