SUMMARY:Olympia Harbor Days Festival & Tugboat Races
DESCRIPTION:The Olympia Harbor Days Festival\, a free event offered ever
 y 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 w
 alk aboard show at the docks and races in the bay. Visitors to the event
  may also find tall ships\, steamships\, other historic vessels of twent
 ieth century commerce\, tribal canoes\, and current recreational small w
 atercraft. Harbor cruises on Budd Bay are also offered.\nOn land\, fest
 ival attendees enjoy great food\, great music\, great artisans\, plus na
 utical and marine themed attractions\, and hands on activities\, includi
 ng Olympia’s tugboat heritage\, tribal history and the working waterfr
 ont with Port of Olympia tours. All in all\, here are over 300 things t
 o do and see.\nBring your kids to this family-friendly maritime celebrat
 ion and fuel their dreams of working on the water and sailing the world 
 when they grow up. Olympia Harbor Days Festival also includes locally ha
 nd built small watercraft\, tribal cultural sharings\, sand carving\, a 
 LEGO Harbor Build\, and dancing pirates just to name a few. The location
  at Percival Landing is a well-known Pacific Northwest maritime landmar
 k located in downtown Olympia\, the WA state Capitol\, and is the southe
 rn-most tip of the Puget Sound\, a destination for many who travel by bo
 at. Hotels\, shops\, gallery’s\, a children’s museum\, restaurants\,
  and bars featuring locally brewed beers\, wines and distillery products
  are all within walking distance of the event.  For more to do before o
 r after your festival visit go to www.experienceolympia.com.\nA competit
 ive spirit is alive and well among tug owners each year\, although many 
 of them will deny it. Fuel loads are lightened\, some install “racing�
 �� propellers\, and hull bottoms are cleaned and painted in preparation 
 for the races.\n\nThe community’s commitment to its tugboat heritage d
 oesn’t stop with the annual Harbor Days festival. The venerable local 
 tug Sand Man is now owned by the non-profit Sand Man Foundation\, which 
 was chartered in 1997. The Sand Man has been on year-round public displa
 y at Percival Landing since 2005 under a long-term agreement with the Ci
 ty of Olympia. Based on historical photographs\, her moorage at Percival
  Landing\, just north of the Olympia Oyster House restaurant\, is the ex
 act site where the boat was moored about 1910. ​Sand Man is open to th
 e public free of charge\, principally on weekends\, as a floating museum
  and interpretive center. She also remains the local host tug for the an
 nual Olympia Harbor Days event.\n\nVisit the official Olympia Harbor Day
 s page for the general schedule\, food &amp\; drink and other vendors\, 
 plus tons of historical information.\n\n&nbsp\;
