A Great Weekend to Round Up The Tugboats in Waterford, NY -By: Rob Smittix

On Friday September 9th the festivities began with a parade of tugboats that became a 3 day celebration in Waterford, NY. On Saturday my wife and my 14 year old son accompanied me (Rob Smittix) to the Tugboat Round Up. It’s not very often that our teenager joins Mom and Dad for these types of festivities but he was genuinely interested in checking out the boats. So that’s what we did, we came and explored the vendors, listened to great live music and of course indulged in some cotton candy.

The Tugboat Round Up is a great weekend in Waterford to spend with the whole family. So if you missed it this year I strongly encourage you not to miss out in 2023. Also it is worth noting that Saturday night’s fireworks rival some of the big 4th of July fireworks in the area. We very much enjoyed the show in the sky and when it ended all of the boats created a musical symphony with their toots!
