About this event

Ahoy! Tybee Island transforms into a swashbuckler's playground for its wildly popular annual Pirate Fest. The multi-day celebration features a costumed pirate parade, live entertainment across multiple stages, a vendor village and market, historic re-enactors, kids' activities, and plenty of family-friendly fun on the beach. Many events on the festival grounds are free to enjoy, with costumes strongly encouraged for all ages. It's a lively, offbeat weekend that draws crowds from across the region, so plan for busy roads and limited island parking. Consider carpooling or using island shuttle options, bring cash for vendors, and dress the part for the best experience.
