Celebrate the 10th Annual Treasure Coast Pirate Festival
Fort Pierce, FL – Looking for a weekend of fun and excitement? Look no further than the Treasure Coast Pirate Fest. Located at Veterans Memorial Park in historic Fort Pierce, this event draws a huge crowd each year and has been referred to by many as one of the most historically accurate pirate festivals in and around Florida. Join us this year as we celebrate the 10th year of this amazing event.
Loaded with colorful rogues, wenches, and scallywags, the family friendly Treasure Coast Pirate Fest offers up some of the nation’s finest reenactors who help provide visitors with a true to life pirate encounter. This highly anticipated event is always a favorite among festival goers.
Some festival high points include exploring the Living History Pirate Encampment (a firsthand look at how pirates lived ashore back in the day), and the Pirate Weapon Demonstrations with real swords, muskets and cannons!
The scheduled lineup of live music is packed with performers such as the fun-loving Irish American band, Bawdy Boys performing Saturday and Sunday, Blarney Rubble, a high energy trio hailing from Key West performing all three days, Celtic Conundrum, with songs from Ireland, Scotland, and England performing Saturday and Sunday, The Lazy Jacks, maritime music who perform Friday only, and BAM, The Bard and Minstrel, comedy, music, and lighthearted debauchery performing Saturday and Sunday.
There is also plenty for the younger pirates like the kid’s costume contest, Lord Drake’s Mystic Magic Show, Meet and greets with Real Mermaids, guided treasure hunts, the Avenger Pirate Ship, the Quest Game which is an interactive hunt for wanted pirates, and the very popular Little Buccaneer Kid’s Zone where young pirates can play all day long with the purchase of a $10 wristband.
Another great feature of the pirate festival is that visitors can shop more than a hundred various nautical theme and arts & craft booths and savor delicious foods and enjoy a cocktail while taking in the sights and sounds during this 3-day fun-filled event.
