Tickets are $17. For children younger than 13, it's $12. To reserve tickets, call (888) 332-5200 or visit www.tickets.com.

And the Tall Ships event in Newport continues through the weekend.

From 11:45 a.m. 1 p.m. tomorrow is the parade of Tall Ships crews and captains, local marching bands and militias. The parade runs from Colony House down Thames Street to Wellington Avenue.

On Sunday, there's the parade of sail at 12:30 p.m. on Narragansett Bay.

Admission aboard Tall Ships is free. Parking at various satellite lots is $15 per car. The lots are at Middletown High School on Valley Road, Gaudet Middle School on Turner Road in Middletown, and the highway interchange at the Claiborne Pell Bridge in Newport.
