🛥️ The Tugboat Roundup is an annual gathering of tugboats and other vessels including working tugs, historic tugs, mini-tugs, and barges. The festival features a tug parade, vendors, live music, kids’ activities, tours of docked boats, boat rides, Tug Talks, demonstrations and fireworks at the Hurst Harbor Center in Waterford, NY.

Waterford sits at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers and is the gateway to the Erie and Champlain Canals. When the NYS Barge Canal opened in 1917, five large locks on the Waterford side of the canal replaced the original sixteen locks that had brought the old canal through Cohoes, navigating around the Cohoes Falls. The Waterford Flight of Locks spans the greatest height in the shortest distance of any set of locks in the world.

This year’s Tugboat Roundup will take place September 5th, 6th and 7th, 2025. For more information, visit https://www.tugboatroundup.com

Ken Burns recently spoke with the Times Union about his upcoming visit to Albany to preview his new PBS series The American Revolution!

More than a decade in the making, the six-part documentary explores both well-known leaders and everyday people whose stories shaped the nation. Burns hopes the film will remind viewers of the responsibilities of citizenship and the immense sacrifices made during the war.

WMHT is proud to host Ken Burns at The Palace Theatre on Sept. 10 for a special preview screening. Tune in to WMHT or the free PBS App Nov. 16–21 for new installments of The American Revolution each night.
