Pirate Fest

     Alas, we had to bid our pirate friends adieu Sunday night, but boy did we have a blast while the festival was here! Especially during the Pirate Victory Parade. Of course we had to get the Mermaid Cottage Mobile in on the parade action again this year. We always have so much fun getting decked out in our best garb, strutting our stuff down Butler Avenue!

     As you can see, everyone had a ball. It’s a little like Mardi Gras…you never really know what you might see! The deer with the beads was definitely a festival favorite!
     The Pirate Girl Booty Drive was also in full swing for Pirate Fest. The totals aren’t in yet, but everyone was very generous, and it’s sure to be a wonderful addition to the money the entire island is raising through all of the FUN-raising events for the Historic Tybee Post Theater! These gals did a great job bringin’ in the booty…and you’ve just gotta love their signs!

     Fun was had by everyone who came out to Tybee for the weekend, that’s for sure! Sad to see the pirates go, but hey, it’s never too early to start planning your costume for next year! Thanks for an awesome weekend everyone!

     One of the biggest events on Tybee is only 23 days away! Tybee’s 6th Annual Pirate Fest comes to town October 8th through the 10th, so make plans to be here. Between the costume contests, Thieves Market, Little Matey’s Cove, and the Pirate Victory parade, there is something fun for everyone!

     There’s also still time to buy tickets to the Buccaneers Ball! October 7th at The Crab Shack, Tybee kicks off the Pirate fun with a huge party. There will be amazing food, live entertainment, a costume contest, and our newly named King and Queen, Paul and Paula DeVivo, will be crowned! You don’t want to miss a bit of it!
