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!

It is with great sadness that we must inform our pirate community of the loss of the Fort Myers Beach Pirate Festival. The beach has decided to sponsor the Offshore Powerboat Races instead of continuing to host our beloved Pirate Fest. I will, as the Admiral, seek a new venue. Please look here for updates.
Awww that is sad news......we enjoyed your festival!
How about a kickstarter to fund it?

😢😢🤬
Keep us posted!!!!!
Whom should we write to to express our discontent to?
There will always be new places to explore and times to get together.
🤔
What? I loved Pirate 🏴☠️ Fest. Bummer, now where am I going to wear my plastic shoulder parrot 🦜?
Hope they enjoy their crappy, smelly, algae-infested water for their boat races 👍👍🤣😂
Richies are Trash .
That sucks.
Leila my daughter and I will miss this festival....
Pollute the water more, great idea💩
We loved being there during the pirate festival
So sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed it.
Oooo
They should share event with pirate's we liven up place
That just sucks
It’s all about the Benjamin’s
Their bloody loss
Rather than complain, how can we help? Can we forge a contact an official 'in charge' of such a calamity with a phone/email campaign to keep it? Really missed it last year and now this news,,, ugh. Do you have any suggestions for recourse or is it just too late?
Michael Heery 🙁
Would love to participate as a pirate and/or mermaid when you do get a new location!🏴☠️🧜🏼♀️💦
