Fishermen's Village Pirate Fest

From Fishermen's Village Pirate Fest Website:

The last weekend in July pirates from every walk of life visit Fishermen's Village to pillage and plunder the local shops, bars and restaurants at this family & pet friendly event.

Live music and sounds of piracy fill the air.

It's an adventurous weekend loaded with bountiful booty and extraordinary treasures that can be seen and purchased while you wander through more than a quarter mile of shaded corridors and breezeways at this amazing covered venue.

Outside, there's plenty to see and do as well. From one end of the village to the other. You can watch the pirate boat parade, hear cannons thunder, visit a pirate encampment, browse the vendors, grab a cold beer, see Blackbeard's Pirate Ship and even meet a live mermaid.

Join us in this 3-day celebration of Punta Gorda's Maritime History in True Pirate Fashion and observe the countless reminders of the golden age of piracy!
