A Brief History of the Tybee Pirate Festival
Tybee Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called Tybeefest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Island Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.
There are family activities, loads of entertainment and a Thieves Market filled with treasure. The festival grounds have grown to encompass the entire South Beach Parking Lot by the Tybee Pier from Tybrisa Street to 18th Street. This website provides the history of the event and lots of other pirate stuff. We hope you find it useful and that it helps you find your way to the Annual Pirate Fest on Tybee Island located only 20 minutes from Savannah’s Historical District and the cobblestone River Street.
Tybee Island Festival is when we talk like pirates and get down and scurvy. Even pirates, scallywags, wenches, and other ne’er-do-wells enjoy our happy little houses by the sea. Call/Text 912.658.0714 or email visitmermaid@gmail.com or book your favorite cottage on our website. Aaargh y’all comin’?
