With over 2,000 attendees raising more than $17,000 for Sails Up 4 Cancer last year, this year’s event will be even better! Here’s why:

The 2026 show promises expanded exhibit and performance areas, along with a broader selection of boats and marine-related displays. Attendees can expect to board a wide range of boats at the docks, connect with industry experts, and enjoy live entertainment throughout the weekend.

Tickets purchased prior to April 23 are $22 each, available online, and valid for all three days of the event. After April 23, tickets are $26 each. Purchase tickets by clicking here!

Half of the proceeds from each ticket sale go to support SailsUp4Cancer.

Please note that parking is often hard to find, and you may end up walking several blocks to reach the dock.
