Beaufort Pyrate Invasion |
|
Event Dates: Aug. 13-14, 2010 |
At the Beaufort Historic Site in the center of
downtown, an authentic Pyrate Encampment is active
on Friday evening and all day Saturday with real
Brethren of the Sea and wenches of a fascinating
variety. Dinner and grog is served here Friday night
by ticket.
Saturday (August 8), beginning at 1:30 PM, the
Beaufort Pyrate Invasion occurs!
It begins with the Pyrates Procession along the
downtown waterfront to Pollock Street where, in
1747, the town militia met the long boat of Spanish
pyrate invaders set on pillaging the town. At 1:30
PM, cannons will be firing on the town, muskets on
land will be countering, and the melee will begin!
History records that nearly 100 local farmers and
townsfolk joined the small band of militiamen in
defense of the town. The result was victory over the
invading pyrates! It is said that some of the
pyrates were buried in the Old Burying Grounds where
they remain today.
Following the Invasion, there will be a public trial
and other occurrences appropriate to a Pyrate
Invasion, exactly as it was in 1747. The day
concludes with a celebration of the town's victory
at the North Carolina Maritime Museum where everyone
will celebrate like pyrates!
Plan now to summon your crew for the first full
weekend of August in Beaufort. It's great excitement
that is fun for everyone.
The Beaufort Pyrate Invasion is an event of the
Beaufort Business Association. Tickets to food
events will be available soon. For more information,
call 252-728-3719 or 252-728-4611.
