The Volcano gears up for the annual Maritime Festival like the Super Bowl. We just can't get enough of celebrating Commencement Bay, and the "Working Waterfront" as it's known. This year marks the 19th annual Maritime Fest - and it might be the best ever.  Expect harbor tours and train rides, paddle board racing, music, boat building, clowns and a beer garden. The action runs Saturday and Sunday. That's why they call it a "Working Waterfront" - weekends off are for pussies.

[Thea's Park/Foss Waterway Seaport, Aug. 27-28, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., free, Dock Street, Tacoma, maritimefest.org]
