Aaarrrggghhh! Don’t be a lily-livered lass or lad! Get your “booty” over to the 5th Annual Southern Pirate Festival. The Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus and the Pirates of the Chattahoochee have joined forces with two pirate crews, the Cursed Few and the Cutthroat Titan Crew, to bring you a bigger, better and more piratical event. Featuring a huge variety of entertainers, acts and demonstrations – from sword swallowers to snake handlers – as well as pirate battles throughout the day, there are plenty of activities for children and adults to enjoy.
In addition to the festival, on Friday night Pirates descend on Port Columbus for the Buccaneers’ Ball. This costume ball is an adult-only part of the festival, and will feature music, dancing and costume contests.
Friday, October 22 & Saturday, October 23rd
