Tall Ships Erie Security Training

We’re thrilled to have you aboard for Tall Ships® Erie 2025! Your energy and dedication make this festival possible, and we can’t wait to work alongside you to create an unforgettable experience for our guests.

As part of our safety commitment, all volunteers must complete the Mandatory Security & Emergency Training before their first shift. This short, 12-minute video will get you up to speed on what to expect at security checkpoints, what’s allowed inside the festival, how to protect your belongings, how to spot and report anything unusual, and how to get help in an emergency.

Because Tall Ships® Erie is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security–designated Marine Event of National Significance, this training is a requirement. The good news? It’s easy to complete!
