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!

*ATTENTION PIRATES*
Did ye lose yer drinking vessel at the 12th Annual Fort Myers Beach Pirate Festival? If so, message us with a proper description and it will be returned to you.
I lost me wooden chicken at the fish house, but a search crew was sent and it was recovered and returned! Pillage, plunder and recover lost goods!
No, but I lost a hand held fan at the Sunset Grill on Saturday night, made with real feathers similar to flat turkey feathers. 😐😣

As the closing cannon sounded the conclusion of the 12th Annual Fort Myers Beach Pirate Festival, my thoughts were on the incredible outpouring of support the show received, particularly after all the obstacles thrown our way. The actors, actresses, gunners, creators of the encampment, and organizers of the galley, donated their talents, time, and effort to see the festival retain it's soul and good energy. This is what pirates do, but never have I seen it taken to this level. The Chamber of Commerce really made this labor of love shine, and the business owners and sponsors were amazing. To the various pirate crews who came out to enjoy the weekend, I thank you for your camaraderie. All I can say is that I am humbled. Until we gather together again, may your sails be full and your mug be bottomless!
With much love,
Admiral Belinda
