A Celebration for Scallywags

Ahoy, matey! The Boyne City PirateFest has pulled into the harbor, and that means it’s time to don your tricorne, polish your boots, and sharpen your cutlass for a week of marauder fun. See the Pirate Princess and Queen crowned on Thursday; fly the Jolly Roger and join the flotilla invasion of Sunset Park with your boat on Friday; and catch a parade, fair, rafting adventure, talent contest, and more on Saturday. (Good pirates also help out with Boyne River cleanups, which are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, or else you’ll have to walk the plank.) Throughout the week, you can count on plenty of family fun, live performances, and, of course, good old fashioned grub and grog. Oh, and did we mention there might be some mermaids and hidden treasure around town? Shiver me timbers! The festival begins Arrrgust 5 and runs through Arrrgust 13.
