Details
It has been rumored that the Pirates will be returning to the shores of Cedar Key in force, November 3-5, 2023.
It be told the pirates will be setting up camp in the city park and taking over the town, pillaging and plundering for charity!
Come, celebrate with the pirates! See how they lived on land when ashore. Learn from some of the finest re-enactors on the East Coast. Watch and listen as the pirates set up an outpost in the city park. The park will be open from noon on Friday, November 3rd. Come and purchase wares and clothing from Vendors Row. Listen to rousing, toe-tapping sea shanties. Friday evening, roam the town with the Pirates, eating and drinking in the local establishments! Pirates, YE BE WARNED! No open containers in public!
Prepare for the Opening Ceremonies at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, Nov 4th. All the scallywags in town will be in attendance. We be hearing that with a bit of persuasion, the Mayor will be “voluntarily” turning over the city to the Pirates! There will also be a Blessing of The Fleet and the Clam Harvest! Then join the Golf Cart Parade with your decorated cart, or walk with your crew!
For the Little Pirates, there will be a costume contest, a Mermaid, and a search for the most infamous pirates in town on the “Wanted Poster” available at the Info Booth. Also, the Krewe of The Scarlett Fortuna and The Pirates of the White Sands will have some exciting things in store for the wee Pirates.
Be entertained by Pirate music, the Lovely Ancient City Sirens, and Rusty Cutlass!
Saturday and Sunday afternoon, the Pirates of the Scarlett Fortuna will demonstrate weapons used by Pirates during a boarding raid! And the guns and cannons will roar when the Pirates of the Loose Cannon Company show black powder weapons used by Pirates!
