tybee-island-pirates-festival-1-300x80Ahoy, mateys! Looking for a fun and very interesting way to enjoy your Columbus Day weekend? Then you’ll want to head over to beautiful Tybee Island for its eighth-annual Pirate Fest, a crazy, antic-filled festival that offers something for everyone. This is a very popular festival that attracts pirate lovers and pirate wannabees from all over the nation.

Tybee Island Pirate Festival

There will be plenty of great food and drinks, as well as lots of live music at the Tybee Island Pirate festival, including headliners Shooter Jennings and his band The Triple Crown. A1A, a wild and crazy Jimmy Buffett tribute band, will also be on hand to bring a bit of the parrot-head mentality to the festival.

RECOMMENDED: Book Your Dream Vacation on Tybee Island

Do your kids absolutely love the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies? Then dress them up in pirate gear so that they can participate in one of the festival’s costume contests for kids. Even if your children don’t win, they will probably have the time of their lives being pirates for the day.

Pirates Of All Ages Can Enjoy The Fun

On Saturday, pirates of all ages can enjoy a fun and wacky pirate parade, which will wind its way down Butler Street towards the beach. You can either choose to watch the pirate-filled floats or get in the mood of the festivities and participate in the parade. Just pick your poison.

RECOMMENDED: Reserve Your Vacation Rentals in Tybee Island

Worried that you won’t have the proper attire to wear during Tybee Island’s Pirate Fest? No problem. The festival includes a Thieves Market, where you can pick up all the latest pirate gear so that you can feel right at home with the other buccaneers or have the perfect costume for Halloween or next year’s festival.
