Available tours include downtown, the historic Port Angeles Underground, historic Port Angeles homes, the Clallam County Courthouse clock tower and Lower Elwha Dam.

Tour tickets are available at the registration booth in the atrium of The Landing Mall.

Tours are available from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

An authentic Makah salmon bake on Hollywood Beach is slated for noon to 4 p.m. Cost will be $15 for adults and $6 for children.

Musicians will be performing throughout downtown and on City Pier, and a car show by Peninsula Dream Machines will continue on Front Street from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
