Dust off your cutlass, polish your hook, and don your eye patch because the pirates are coming!  Costume contests, re-enactments, sea shanties, arts & crafts, and more- we pirates do love our festivals. Take a look at who is doing what and what is happening when and be sure to stop by and see us at our booth.  We'll see you there!

Beaufort Pyrate Invasion

August 8th-9th, 2009:  Beaufort, North Carolina

The ideal venue for a such an event, the Beaufort Pyrate Invasion is held every year on the Beaufort waterfront.  Cannon fire, pillaging, plundering, and of course, grog swilling, are but a few of the festivities.  Fun for the whole family!
