As always, the sailing parade started on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 11 a.m. in Kiel’s inner fjord and set course for the Friedrichsort lighthouse and outer fjord. Of course, there is also the opportunity to watch the windjammer parade from land, for example from the Falckensteiner beach, from the Holtenau lighthouse on the fjord or from the east bank of Kiel, for example at the Möltenort submarine memorial. Of course, sailing on one of the numerous participating ships will also be possible this year.
Due to the corona pandemic / COVID-19, the Kiel Week was postponed from June to September in 2020 and 2021, so the windjammer parade also took place in September in these two years. Since last year, the Kiel Week has been taking place again as usual in the last week of June. Participants and spectators of the Windjammer Parade are looking forward to summer weather and sunshine at the Kiel Week Windjammer Parade 2023 in the Kiel Fjord on June 24th, 2023.
