Sailgating Husky Harbor University of Washington

Experience Sailgating at Husky Harbor
The Ultimate UW Game Day Tradition on Lake Washington
A Unique Husky Tradition
Sailgating at Husky Harbor is a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the excitement of University of Washington football with the beauty of boating. Located on the scenic shores of Lake Washington, fans anchor their sailboats and yachts right next to Husky Stadium, creating a floating festival of team spirit.
Expect to see a harbor filled with purple and gold, lively grilling, music, and the camaraderie of the Husky faithful before kickoff.
