The Weekly Volcano is synonymous with fun, so there's no way we would ever let Olympia Harbor Days festival pass without trumpeting it. Why? Because we love the hell out of some tugboats. And if there's one thing Oly Harbor Days is synonymous with, it's tugboats. And history. And fun. Is there another way we could use the word synonymous in this blurb? Probably. But why push our luck. The important thing is that you head down to Oly's waterfront Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday and get in on a late-summer rite of passage. Of particular interest are the annual tugboat races, which go down Sunday at noon.

OLYMPIA HARBOR DAYS, 5-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, Percival Landing & Port Plaza, 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia, free, harbordays.com
