Join us for Labor Day Weekend !
37 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 3, 4, & 5, 2010!
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.
COME PREPARED TO SEE HISTORY IN THE MAKING ! In July, 2010, Percival Landing will undergo Phase 1 of a complete renovation and upgrade. This summer, during construction, Harbor Days will take on a new look during the temporary changes to the area. Things will be different this year, to accomodate the work being done, but it will all be worth it when the new, improved Percival Landing is unveiled in 2011. See the tugboats at Port Plaza, and all the other attractions along the waterfront from Thurston Avenue north.
Hope you can join us and experience the South Sound's classiest event...with a little something for everyone in the family! Come with a sense of adventure, and watch us grow!

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 here.
