Where is this being held
Hi Captain Blackheart, the Tybee Pirate Festival is held on Tybee Island, GA about 13 miles east of Savannah. The festival grounds are on the south end of the island by the pier in the south beach parking lot. For more info on tybee island, http://tybeevisit.com
Goo’da. Aye be curiou about the shooting of black powder weapons during yer festival. Most Pyrate festivals have some sort of ship to shore battery going on and/or demonstrations of the weapons…how be ye on black powder weapons?
Dampier
Hi William, we do not allow black powder to be shot in the festival grounds, and the police are against it in the streets but if you are on a ship during the parade it is fine.
