The Olympia Harbor Days Festival, a free event offered every Labor Day Weekend, is an award winning free and family friendly event that showcases many of the vintage tugboats of the Puget Sound with a walk aboard show at the docks and races in the bay.
Festival attendees will enjoy great food, great music, great artisans, plus nautical and marine themed attractions, and hands-on activities, including Olympia’s tugboat heritage, tribal history and the working waterfront with Port of Olympia tours. All in all, there are over 300 things to do and see.
Bring your kids to this family-friendly maritime celebration and fuel their dreams of working on the water and sailing the world when they grow up. Olympia Harbor Days Festival also includes locally hand built small watercraft (Bob Peck’s mini tugs featured at the large pavilion at Percival Landing Park), tribal cultural sharings, sand carving, and dancing pirates just to name a few.
