Calling ALL midwestern pirates! I know there be plenty of ya out there! Just received this bit of information & figured I would pass it along. I'm beginning to make plans to go! Ahoy, Mates! This is Dean Calin from Bounding Main. I'm helping organize the second annual Port Washington Pirate Festival. It is being held the weekend of June 2-4, 2006 in Port Washington, Wisconsin. What started as an impromptu event ended up having about 3,000 people in attendance, so this year we're planning ahead and we're hoping to triple that number. Friday night will have a Buccaneer Bash, a general party for all pirate types, with music, a cash bar and mingling with friends …

I know it be early but perhaps it's not since I received the Entertainer's Application not even 2 weeks ago. It would be good to get some of us non-stage pirates (and militia) to doing some more interaction. Scenarios, perhaps? Doesn't always have to involve weapons... Looking forward to the '08 Fest. ~Lady B

Endless Mountains Medieval Festival in Luzerne County, PA May 28, 29 and June 4, 5, 11, & 12, 2005 10 am to 7 pm They held it for the first time last year and I had scads of fun doing stage-combat and walk-around skits with the troupe. This year, I understand they're trying to get a new place to hold the faire (if they suceed, it'll be 5 minutes from my house ), so I can't give directions yet. Their website is Endless Mountains Medieval Festival

The 2004 Blackbeard Festival in Hampton VA is set for June 5 and 6 with the Pyrate Ball on June 4 (Friday night). The festival on Saturday and Sunday is free to attend. Pirate garb is required to attend the Pyrate Ball but precise authenticity isn't required. There is a buffet (included in the price of the ticket) and a cash bar. John Glass (Gov. Spotswood) will have all the details on the website next month. Here is the link to last year's event......2003 Blackbeard Festival - Hampton VA

Ahoy folks, Just an update of whats going on. We've been on a roller coaster of planning on our side and I hope all understand and forgive us. From last nights meeting I can say the following.

Ok, let me explain somethings before I actually post about this. First, my main objective with the "Council" is to have all of the serious pirates/reenactors from the midwest group together as one solid union. This isn't about crews and who's crew is better, it's about what we can all do if unified as one to get the midwest the attention that the coasts and other areas get. Let's face it, we don't see much action out here @ Port Washington, pretty much the same people from the year before, which is fine. Seeing old faces is always a good time. However, we need fresh blood out here. Anyway, before I babble on too much... First, the swap meet, I don't know where we can d…

Just got an email from the organizer, planning has commenced. More news to come... But unrelated to the organization of the re-enactment encampment there, the organizer has asked me to put it out there that more vendors are wanted to expand the pirate market... Artists, crafters, historically influenced sutlers, and more pop-culture pirate themed vendors all wanted. Contact me and I will put you in touch with the organizer for the vendors. Re-enactors, I will be the point man on this one again... M.A. d'Dogge, you have been requested by name for some ungodly reason... something to do with being the currently reigning champion. Date is currently UNCONFIRMED but likely t…

Hey everyone, This one has been a bit of a rocky road, but I am charging forth to make the best of it for this year. Over the weekend of June 25th to 27th (the last weekend of this month), pirate re-enactors have been invited to camp and display at this pirate festival. The festival is a few years old, but has mostly been focused on a pirate theme, but I checked the festival out last year, and got in touch with the organizer, and after some "on again/off-again" question marks, we have an area to camp in, and perhaps display from. I have an email out to the organizer to clear up some last minute details, but if there is anyone in Northern Ohio, or willing to travel from…

June 1-3 is Hampton, Virginia's Blackbeard Fest. I was wanting to know who may show up this year. I'll be working the camp fires and trying not to poison anyone. Hopefully we will have enough rum to cure anything that comes up. I hear the crew from NQG will be there. The planning is well underway. If anyone has specific questions throw them my way. I'll find the answer if I don't know if offhand. Willie the rumrunner aka - Cookie

Is anyone planning to hit either or both of the Blackbeard Festivals (NC, or VA)? I won't be able to make either of them, but would be interested in hearing from anyone who's going this year, or anyone who went in recent years, so I'll know whether it's worth it to go next year! Capt. William

For the past 5 years I have done a free kids game at the Minnesota Renniassance Festival. For the first time in a few years I have the weekend open for Port Washington Pirate Festival and I'd like to bring the game to share. I am having no luck contacting the organizers. The first fellow I dealt with stepped down from his role with the Port Washington Pirate Festival. The person he suggested I contact has not returned my emails (with photos of the kids game). Just wondered if any of you are "in the know" of who I should contact. Note: I am not asking for any money, just permission.
