What a challenge to find info about this event! It takes place in Montreal in mid-June. Well, it did last year. I couldn't find any info for the event for next year.

The website is all in French (being in Montreal and all), but here is a babelfish translated version of the first page. (Hey, that's kind of neat - you can click on the links in that translated version and babelfish converts the link pages too.)

From what movie did they steal the music they used in that video?

^{Hi Mission, yes even last year it was quite a challenge to get information regarding this event and I know personnally all the organizers! It was a last mminute thing that was announced I think in April and took place in June. I'm really impress with what they accomplish in such a small preparation time. The organization behind it have years of experience in historical theme festival so that probably explain their success. The weather was good which is crucial when starting a new event so the good news is that there will be a second one in 2012, probably again the 3rd weekend of June, but nothing is official yet.}

^{As you can see in the video the festival is very familly-kid oriented, but also leaves room for more historical aspect of pirate life.}

^{If all goes to plan, I will try to setup a boucanier camp for the weekend.}

^{I'll try to update information regarding the 2012 edition as soon as I get some}

^{Oh and no idea on the origin of the music used in the video...I'll ask}
