OpSail2012VA

On the horizon lies a historic American milestone, an extraordinary occasion for the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia...the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, planned together with the spectacle of OpSail 2012. OpSail 2012 Virginia® is a collaboration between Operation Sail Inc. (OpSail) national, the United States Navy, Norfolk Festevents, and hundreds of national, state and local organizations.

From June 6 -12, 2012, the Port of Virginia will once again host an impressive fleet of tall ships, navy and military war ships representing the world. OpSail 2012 Virginia® is planned to illuminate the community with spectacle and festivity, and will place our Commonwealth front and center on the world stage.
