I recently had the distinct privilege of creating images for The Ocean Race during an intimate kickoff event at the The Dalí Museum , celebrating the upcoming 2027 edition of this incredible global sailing competition.
For those unfamiliar, The Ocean Race spans more than 30,000 nautical miles and begins in Alicante, Spain, in January 2027. St. Pete-Clearwater has been selected as the only North American stop on the race route, making this a truly historic opportunity for our community.
The teams will arrive from Itajaí, Brazil, before departing St. Pete on a transatlantic leg bound for Cascais, Portugal. During the stopover, the region will host a Race Village featuring public events, entertainment, and interactive experiences on a scale comparable to the St. Pete Grand Prix.
It was exciting to be part of an evening that marked the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a world-class event for our area. I look forward to seeing the energy, excitement, and international attention The Ocean Race brings to St. Pete-Clearwater in 2027.
Kudos to UDREAM EVENTS for another top notch event!
