They’ll be grub, grog, music by Steve, and a prize for the best pirate and wench. $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!
The fun continues on Friday night, October 10th at 6:00 pm with the stealing of the key to the city. Those piratey rascals will hunt down the mayor and steal the key. The scurvy dogs will then turn the party loose with live music, fun and food.
Saturday the party continues with food, fun, a pirate’s costume competition (who’s the scurviest!) for kids and adults, an children’s activities tent, and music. Then later, the pirates parade their floats through the town, kidnapping our dear mayor, holding him hostage and flaunting it in front of the good citizens of and visitors to Tybee! Arrrgggghhhh! Be sure to join us for this wonderful weekend for kids and adults.
