Join us for Labor Day Weekend !
36 Years of Tugboats and Maritime Heritage celebrated on the beautiful Olympia, Washington waterfront
Ahoy! Welcome to Olympia Harbor Days! If you are a tugboat enthusiast, a history buff, an arts & crafts lover, or simply someone in search of lots of fun, mark your calendar for September 4, 5 & 6, 2009!
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 the Black Diamond Pirates, model tugboats, Dragon Boat rides, The Steamship Virginia V, and the Hawaiian Chieftain, Lady Washington (star of the Pirates of the Caribbean) & their crews.
Hope you can join us and experience the South Sound's classiest event...with a little something for everyone in the family!

The South Sound Maritime Heritage Association
The South Sound Maritime Heritage Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and public awareness of the Southern Puget Sound's maritime history. There is a rich heritage to the sights, sounds, and events that have taken place along the banks and in the channel of Budd Bay and points north. From the early ferry boats that linked Olympia to Seattle, to the working waterfront that helped launch Washington State's economy, the South Sound left many stories to tell, and memories to protect. You can become a member of the SSMHA by writing to PO Box 2351, Olympia, WA 98507. You can download an application by clicking the link at your left.
