Tugboat Roundup & Parade

*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 09/08/2024
The Tugboat Roundup in Waterford, NY, is a three-day festival and gathering of tugboats, workboats and barges to celebrate the maritime heritage of the Northeast Inland Waterways. The festival features a tug parade, tug tours, boat rides, tug talks, competitions, fireworks, children's activities, vendors, food, and more. The festival begins on September 6, at approximately 3:30 pm, with a tug parade up the Hudson River, starting in Albany. Spectators can watch the parade pass by from any accessible river front spot in Menands, Watervliet, Green Island, Troy, and Cohoes. Once the parade reaches Waterford, tugboats, workboats, and other vessels dock where the public can view them. Some tugs are open for tours. Once in Waterford, the festival features tugboat tours, boat rides, tug talks, competitions, live music, fireworks, children's activities, vendors, food, and more. The Tugboat Roundup is free to attend!
