Cedar Key Pirate Invasion

  • When: Saturday, November 2, 2024 - All Day Event
  • Location: City Park and Dock Street, Cedar Key, FL
  • Cost: Free

Come, celebrate with the pirates! See how they lived on land when ashore. Learn from some of the finest re-enactors on the East Coast. Watch and listen as the pirates set up an outpost in the city park. Come and purchase wares and clothing from Vendors Row. Listen to rousing, toe tapping sea shanties. Friday evening roam the town with the Pirates eating and drinking in the local establishments! Pirates ye be warned! No open containers in public!

Prepare for the Opening Ceremonies on Saturday morning. All the scallywags in town will be in attendance. We be hearing, that with a little persuasion, the Mayor will be “voluntarily” turning over the town to the Pirates! There will also be a Blessing of The Fleet and the Clam Harvest! Then join in the Golf Cart Parade with your decorated cart or just walking along with your crew!

For the Little Pirates, there will be a costume contest, a Mermaid and a search for the most infamous pirates in town on the “Wanted Poster” available at the Info Booth.

Be entertained by Pirate music, the Lovely Ancient City Sirens and Rusty Cutlass!
