This coming Labor Day weekend, two major events will take place on San Diego’s Embarcadero. The 2014 Festival of Sail will feature about 20 beautiful tall ships from ports far and wide.

I’ll be going this weekend, and I’ll take loads of photos! I also did a blog post about the Imperial Beach sand sculpture event earlier this summer! That was pretty cool, too!
