Get Your Pirate On!

October 13-14 & 20-21, 2018

 The third annual Tennessee Pirate Fest is on the horizon.  Be transported to the fictional pirate town of Port Royale, consisting of interactive street characters - including British red coats, the Governor’s household, and of course pirates.  Dress in costume and enter the contest. 

Sing karaoke,  put loved ones in the stocks (great photo op!), and play games such as porthole (corn hole), volleyball, tetherball, and limbo.  Children can participate in a treasure hunt for a $2 fee.  Merchants will sell custom crafts, festival food, and hot and cold beverages, including beer.

Professional entertainment will include Irish/Celtic/Pirate/Caribbean music by The Muckers, Three of The Lost Boys, Henry Culpeper, PanEZ, and Patrick Compton.  Interactive comedy-stunt shows will include Einstein Simplified performing as Blackbeard Simplified, Three RRR’s, and Fools Gold Pyrates.  There will also be Children’s Shows, the Governor’s Variety Show, and Kombat Kroquet performed by interactive street characters.  Maypole dance will also be available on Saturday and led by Lark in the Morn English Country Dancers. An entertainment schedule will be available online and at the entrance gate.
