The Olympia Harbor Days Maritime Drone Show happens over the Westbay of Budd Inlet. Best drone show viewing is from the East or West and will appear distorted as you move North or South. Recommended viewing areas include Percival Landing Boardwalk near the park, the Port Plaza, and the Westbay Park north end of Westbay Drive. Stay clear of the launch area at Westbay Park and away from the perimeters of the show flight area over the shallow tidelands of the Westbay. Olympia Harbor Days Community Radio Partner KXXO MIXX 96.1 will broadcast compatible music which will be projected from both festival stages and aired live so folks at home can listen. The show is hosted by the nonprofit South Sound Maritime Heritage Association along with sponsors. The drone show is free, but donations appreciated. See a video of the 2023 show:
