Ahoy there, mateys! Embrace the legend of Captain Kidd and the joy of pirate play. Don your pirate attire and gather with us at Parade Plaza by the Pirate Ship for a delightful photo session. Mingle with the swashbuckling crew, enjoy a shanty or two, and engage in conversations about seeking hidden treasures as we unveil hints on the exciting New London Pirate Adventure Map.

The ]Bawdy Buccaneers are charting a course for the New London Pirate Festival. Embark on a musical voyage with Captain Lance D. Boyle of the Picaroon Princess and his trusty First Mate & “Cruise Director,” Truly Scrumptious. They’ll dock their vessel, The Picaroon Princess, at New London Parade Plaza, ready to welcome fellow pirates. Join in the merry exchange of tales and treasures, raise a chorus of beloved pirate melodies, or even learn a fresh tune or two.

 6:30 PM: Kids are invited to show off their best pirate costumes in our “Dress Like a Pirate” contest.

8:00 PM: Adults can strut their stuff in the Pirate Pageant, also at the Parade Plaza.
