July 1st through 4th, 2010: Privateer Days

Liverpool, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA

"Step Back to 1780". Privateer Days, held the first weekend of July, is an annual celebration of the privateering era of the late 18th century in Queen’s County, centering on the Town of Liverpool. The event highlights the history and culture of the area through music, theatre, guided tours and historical re-enactments. The goal of Privateer Days is to celebrate our maritime history, acknowledge Liverpool’s cultural and commercial history, and build an enduring sense of community. Privateer Days brings our history alive, inviting residents and visitors from near and far to step back in time to 1780 to the height of privateering. Through battle re-enactments, costumed tours of the town and Old Burial Ground, dory races and entertainment featuring local performers, participants learn about the town’s commerce, architecture, and maritime past, including the successful privateers that grew to wealth and fame defending the Crown.
