calicojack007 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I'm seeking info regarding the Blackbeard Festival in Hampton. I'm fairly new to all this so any info provided would be great! Are 2016 dates set yet? Is there a good hotel within walking distance of the festivities? Thanks! Visit my website, "Scallywags, Sprogs and Pollywogs" http://broadsidebill.weebly.com
Jas. Hook Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Ahoy Calicojack - A splendid affair indeed. Starts Fiday night with the ball and runs through Saturday and Sunday. If you book in the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina it's a one stop anchorage - hotel/ball/parking/fireworks and the festival within easy walk. I haven't seen any date for 2016 but check Hampton Parks and Recreation (757-727-8311)after new year, they're the current organizers of the festival and tickets are ordered through them. Think end of May for the weekend. If I recall the tickets went on sale middle of March this year. Jas. Hook "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas.
