In this edition: 

** 'Tis the Season to Swash Yer Buckle! 




It's June, and that means we're at the heart of pirate festival season. 




-- It starts this weekend in Hampton, Virginia, with the Blackbeard Pirate Festival. If you're anywhere on the East Coast this Saturday and Sunday, get out to Hampton for one of the best pirate festivals I've ever been to, led by the Crew of Blackbeard, which stages a fine pirate camp reenactment. And make sure you say high to the Pi-Rats of the festival! 

Details are online at https://hampton.gov/2008/Blackbeard-Pirate-Festival. 




There are a lot of other events dotting the calendar, but the other two big ones for the month are on the West Coast. 




-- The Northern California Pirate Festival is the big bash at Waterfront Park in Vallejo, California. It's June 16 and 17 (Fathers Day weekend) and it draws thousands of visitors. Read all about it at https://www.norcalpiratefestival.com/ 




-- And closing out the month, June 30 and July 1, is the Pirate Invasion Long Beach, featuring our friend Talderoy and featuring the Order of Leviathan. They'll be down at Shoreline Aquatic Park. You can read all the glorious details at http://www.pirateinvasionlongbeach.com/ 




And of course, all three of these festivals have a big presence on Facebook, so you can always find out what's going on. 




They aren't the only buccaneer bashes on the calendar, of course, just the three biggest. But there are events all over the calendar, and all over the country. 




If you're in the neighborhood, you might check out: 




-- Pirate Family Daze, June 2-3, West Bend, Wisconsin,

-- Rockaway Beach Pirate and Costume Festival, June 23-25, Rockaway Beach, Oregon.

And that's just a small sampling of the fun. Summer is the time to start thinking ahead to International Talk Like a Pirate Day in September, and what better way to get in the spirit than spendin' a day or two on the account, at your friendly neighborhood pirate festival! 




Until next time, 

Ol' Chumbucket
