The 12th Annual Fort Myers Beach Pirate Festival will be held October 6-8 2017 on Old San Carlos Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach Florida.
Pub Quest will kick off the event on Friday night, and festivities continue throughout the weekend from 10am-5pm.
Enjoy live pirate-themed entertainment on 3 stages, a stellar line-up on vendors row, and lots of fun and games for the kids. Witness the biggest, most exciting Ship to Shore Sea Battle you have ever seen, up close, in the deep waters of beautiful Matanzas Pass. Don’t miss your chance to win lots of prizes in the Adult and Children’s Costume Contests, held daily at different locations. Kids can play the “Find the Pirate Game”, which takes them on a wild goose chase to locate the wanted pirates. Once the pirates are found, the wee buccaneers can claim their booty bags at the Pirate Encampment.
All ages are welcome to join in the Pie Eating Contest, held each day by the main stage. Adults will enjoy rum tastings and special offers throughout this weekend of never ending fun. Bring out your inner shopper and browse thousands of hand crafted items presented by some of the most talented artists in the country.
This festival was rated the #2 Pirate Festival in the Nation by USA TODAY, so make your plans to set sail for Fort Myers Beach today. See you tharrr!

Fellow pirates and wenches, be aware the Fort Myers Beach Pirate Fest will be taking a hiatus for 2018. We plan to use that time though to bring you an even better event in 2019! For...
There are MANY that are still going and we will just have to create our own Pirate Fest while there... not like we don't know where to meet! 😉🛳⚓️💣⚔️ 🍻
Francine we will still be there cant wait....
Hoping to do this event next year i hear great things
Just when what the Beach desperately needs after the red tide/green flow disaster is something to bring the people. Whose brilliant idea was this and WHY???
This Might be a dumb question but Is this fest geared towards kids?
Such a shame! Went from #2 Pirate Festival in the nation to... canceled. So sorry for the vendors and participants who look forward to or rely on this each year.
Aaarrggh! Me boat knows the way!! I be bringing the wench to serve as me first mate!!! Can’t wait!
Jeanie Owen a bunch of us locals are still going as always.... they're not gonna rain on our parade ! Remember: WE ARE THE PARTY!!! 😂😂⚓️💣⚔️
Scuttled in ‘18. Salvaged in ‘19
We have to have this festival...the businesses are relying on the revenue. We have already lost the last 4 weeks lets not make it worse. This a very special occasion for the Pirates, don't the locals and business owners get a say in these decisions????
We will stay tuned!!
Contact site pirate nation here on Facebook as well as chamber of commerce. Pull hard mates ! We need the cannons ! As well as craig music ! Carry on as we should no red tide abound to stop the gathering . bounty to be made without there be feverish environment abound
Huzzah
