There is certainly a lot of fascination with PIRATES around the Tampa Bay area! From January's Gasparillo along Tampa's shore to the pirate offering welcome at the entrance of Treasure Island, it's hard to miss. This time of the year, we turn to John's Pass in Madeira Beach to join the festivities with its 9th annual John LeVique Pirate Days!Starting tomorrow, June 11th, the three-day weekend pirate themed event celebrates the discovery of John’s Pass by turtle farmer, John Levique after the hurricane of September 1848. Dressing in costume is encouraged! The Pirate's Ball kicks off the festivities Friday evening and naturally there will be a costume contest! Live music will be available Saturday and Sunday, but you won't want to miss the Pirate Invasion at noon on Saturday along with the fully decked out boat parade, fllowed by the "pillaging of the village"! And there is always face painting, story telling, photo opportunities, games and activities, and the infamous “Pirates Pub Crawl”.
Ahoy, Matey!! See you there!
