Olympia Harbor Days

Since 1973, Harbor Days is an annual festival where tugboats return to the southernmost tip of Puget Sound for three days of entertainment, food, art, history, and a last farewell to the summer. Vintage, working and retired tugboats are moored at Olympia's Percival Landing. Many of them are open for tour on Saturday of the festival. Be on hand at noon Sunday as the tugs leave shore to participate in the Annual Harbor Days Tugboat Races, out in the deep channel of the bay. Extra attractions include a children's area, model tugboats, and the Lady Washington (star of the Pirates of the Caribbean) and her crew. Takes place at Percival Landing and Port Plaza.
