We have some great activities planned where you get to DO things! Each kid gets a Treasure Map when they enter Pirate Fest. They will traverse the park accomplishing about 10-12 activities. How about learning to sword fight like a pirate? Walk a plank? Hoist a sail? Actually make a piece of rope? Accomplish the tasks you will get your "booty" and become an honorary Pirate with a Letter of Marque!

ANNUAL EVENT:
Pirate Fest is an annual festival. It has a Legend and a storyline. The pirates are cursed and "stuck in the desert". You are here to help and witness their attempts to break the curse and return to the sea. If they are unsuccessful (they haven't been able to do it yet!) then you can make plans for next year. Come back next year and you can see what the pirates, steampunk and faerie characters have been doing in your absence. Maybe they'll be lucky this year...with your help!
