Pirates Week Festivals

Pirates Week 2012 started on Thursday 8th November and will end on Sunday 18th November 2012. The week will encompass eleven fun filled days with music, street dances, competitions, games, wonderful local food and drink, kids day, glittering parade, sports events for everyone, Heritage Days, pirate invasion and fireworks galore! There is just too much going on for you to miss out on.

The festival started with a fantastic steel pan competition and kick-off party, with spectacular fireworks on Friday night. With the crowning of the Festival Queen and the opening Street Dance and Food Festival on that night there is no better place to be in the Caribbean.

On Saturday there was a mock ‘pirate invasion’ from the sea! Two old-time sailing vessels, loaded with pirates made a Saturday surprise landing at the bowl-shaped George Town harbour with the pirates capturing the 'Governor'. Thousands of people lined the streets to watch the spectacle and its all good-natured fun with a new twist every year. Families just love it. It's the only event of its kind in the Caribbean region.
