Are you an aspiring young pirate looking
for a deck to swab and treasure to plunder?
Then you won’t want to miss the Little Swashbucklers Children’s Area!

Join fellow pirates and limeys to:
• Explore a pirate ship • Make pirate crafts to take home • Play pirate games and more!

There will be great children’s entertainment all weekend long on the Little Swashbucklers Stage including puppet shows and sea chantey sing-alongs!

Plus, look for the Blackbeard coloring page in the May issue of Tidewater Parent. Bring your colored picture to the Tidewater Parent booth at the festival for a chance to win pirate treasure! Every entry gets a turn to "dig treasure from the pirate chest!" All entries will be entered into a drawing for grand prizes!

Kids, wear your best pirate costume and visit the Walgreen's booth in the children's area for FREE photos!
