The 58th edition of the Barcolana, the world's most attended sailing regatta, returns to the Gulf of Trieste from October 2 to 11, 2026. The highlight is Sunday, October 11: at 10:30 am the challenge begins among thousands of boats, with the starting line positioned between Barcola and Miramare. For ten days, Trieste transforms into a sailing village with events, music, and parties along the waterfront, attracting crews and enthusiasts from all over the world. Organized by the Sailing Society of Barcola and Grignano, the Barcolana is much more than a regatta: it is a popular festival that unites sport, sea, and city.
