Avast, ye mateys!

Sharing with Steemians and pirate enthusiasts in Northern California, there is a fun event coming up next weekend, during Father's Day weekend, June 16 & 17!!

The 12th annual Northern California Pirate Festival will be held at Waterfront Park in Mare Island, Vallejo, CA. More than 500 costumed actors, crafters and musicians come together for the largest event of its kind in the entire country.

@myprecious' sister mermaids may make an appearance too! And who knows, there may be treasures to be found too!

Sounds more exciting than the Vancouver Sea Festival version. I may recall that our annual token Pirate ship was cancelled a while ago because it was'offensive' to some sensitive soul.

Yeah, I will surely note it for next year to attend!

Vancouver is a nice city! Too much of political correctness, perhaps?

I think the festival had been reincarnated into different venue names in the past, some years cancelled, two years ago it was just a tall Japanese sailing ship came in the harbor for public relations with tours. The Annual summer fireworks competition splintered off the original festival, they're not even sure about this year's. Because it was backed by a Cigarette manufacturer a few years ago. This PC cr@p is stifling.

Add some good wine to this party and I will fly in!

There be grog and ale!!
I am actually heading towards Europe myself on that weekend!!

I am a little too far away to go to the festival. I live in Brazil...

I think Brazil has the best festivals!! One day, perhaps I can see the Carnival of Brazil in person.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

@khamen Good Job letting all the Pirates know about events that go right along with #PirateSunday

DO you live around the Vallejo area?

No, in the South Bay, nearer to San Jose.
