Description

Vallejo, CA…Landlubbers, beware! The second annual Northern California Pirate Festival comes into port Father’s Day Weekend, June 14 & 15 at the Vallejo Waterfront near Mare Island and the Vallejo Marina. The Bay Area’s only pirate festival is a guaranteed swashbuckling good time for the entire family – complete with tall ships, live music, famous pirates, sword fighting, ship to shore cannon battles, delicious grub and grog, and much, much more.

The Northern California Pirate Festival turns Vallejo’s waterfront into Pirate Town, with three acres of free entertainment, including live cannon demonstrations, sword fighting in the streets and live music from Skip Henderson and Starboard Watch, the Seadogs, Rum Rebellion, Queen Anne’s Revenge, the Roving Tars and the Dogwatch Nautical Band. The young scallywags will love Jack Spareribs and his magic show, Captain Kidd and Nellie, Mister Mac and more. For a full list of piratical entertainment, please check out www.norcalpiratefestival.com.

Each day will feature a children’s costume contest as well as treasure hunts for grown-ups and kids alike. Young pirates can participate in chantey sing-a-longs or try their little hands at pirate crafts – like knot tying. Each afternoon, the fearsome 72-foot schooner, Aldebaran, will lead its crew into a ship-to-shore black powder cannon battle with other pirate brethren, bringing the streets of Pirate Town alive with sword-fights and sailor brawls.

Visit the Northern California Pirate Festival for the delicious grub and grog featuring such delectable treats as Arrrr-t-chokes, fresh Drake’s Bay oysters, fine meat pies, gelato, sin on a stick and more! Discover unique pirate clothing and one-of-a-kind swords for sale. Find everything your piratical heart desires.

Admission to the Pirate Festival is free, and includes all entertainment. Crafts, games, food and drink are all available for purchase. The Pirate Festival is open on Saturday, June 14 from 10am to 7pm; and on Father’s Day Sunday, June 15 from 10am – 6pm.

The Northern California Pirate Festival will donate a portion of its proceeds to the Vallejo Music Theatre and the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation, which fulfills the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

The Northern California Pirate Festival is located just west of the Vallejo Ferry Terminal at 289 Mare Island Way in Vallejo California. For more information and driving directions, visit www.norcalpiratefestival.com or call 866-921-YARR (9277).
