With over one million people expected to attend, San Francisco Bay will welcome Tall Ships from all over the world as they sail under the Golden Gate Bridge for the Festival of Sail which runs from July 23-27, 2008. T In addition to the ships’ arrival, the entire waterfront from AT&T Park to Aquatic Park will be transformed into an international nautical attraction free and open to the public, and is broken up into three Villages, each featuring entertainment, food & beverage and a host of amusements. Marine Education Village is at Aquatic Park, International Village is at Justin Herman Plaza and Green Village is at Pier 30/32
