Erie’s Tall Ships: The volunteers making waves

What really makes the Tall Ships event in Erie special isn’t just the majestic vessels—it’s the volunteers who bring the whole experience to life. Locals like Maureen Kurtic are welcoming visitors from as far as Florida and South Carolina, sharing stories and Erie pride. From helping folks board the ships to answering endless questions, these volunteers are the heartbeat of the festival. If you haven’t checked it out yet, there’s still time to soak in the atmosphere and meet some truly passionate people. Anyone else think Erie should host this every year? #Cars #ErieTallShips #CommunitySpirit
