Captain’s Keg

Saturday August 4th from 7pm – 11pm!

For one night only the tavern stays open into the night! Join the village as Captains of rival crews, Captain Kier a Din and Captain William Dampier host this adult party. Somehow the Captains will work together to keep the evening rolling – you can expect a hearty mix of live music, comedy, and special surprises that you won’t see at any other time of the weekend! The pub and kitchen will stay open, so grab a seat, send your mate to the bar, and enjoy a true pirate experience!


Admission to the Captain’s Keg is included with your regular admission on Saturday. Other wise it is a $5 cover to get in. Enjoy an evening without the kids, and rub elbows with the regulars of the Thirsty Parrot!

Vendors
Stroll through the laneways of Dry Bluffs, and acquire that one of a kind item from the variety of merchants in our marketplace! Many artisans hand make their products, and Pirates of all inclinations will be tempted to purchase something unique! Links, Pictures, Etc of Vendors

Food & Drink

There be something for everyone at the Piratefest, and that includes when you visit the Galley – the term used for the kitchen aboard ship! With lots of covered seating, you can select from a varied menu, including vegetarian options! Feast on a Turkey leg, enjoy whatever soup has been simmering all day, or order from the grill. While you wander the village, try a pickle – a pirate’s snack of choice! Water and non alcoholic drinks are available at the Galley as well.

The thirsty Parrot is pleased to offer a variety of ales, spirits and non alcoholic drinks as well! Try the Grog – a drink you won’t find in landlubber taverns!
