Tybee Island Pirate Fest
October 8th-9th, 2010
Swashbucklers of all ages will be converging on Tybee Island to participate in the 6th Annual Tybee Island Pirate Fest! Featuring a Pirate Victory Parade, Live Entertainment, Costume Contests, Children’s Activities and the Thieves Market filled with treasures, grog and grub!
The Tybee Island Pirate Festival began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals that were looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called TybeeFest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.
Tybee Island Pirate Festival won the applause of GEORGIA Magazine readers in the magazine’s 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards contest, as published in its October 2009 issue. In the contest, loyal readers nominated their favorite Georgia people, places and things. Tybee Island Pirate Festival won in the Annual Event category.
Tybee Island Pirate Fest has been named one of Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Events for the month of October 2009. The best events across the Southeast compete to receive the prestigious Top 20 designation.
