The Eastport Pirate Festival gets underway this year September 11 through the 13.

One of Downeast Maine’s most charming lobster fishing villages is where the festival takes place, and the three-day event has fun-filled activities three for people of all ages. Examples of the festivities are live music, merry-making and coastal Maine fun including a road race, treasure hunt, parade, fireworks, lobster crate races and a friendly "invasion" from the neighboring lobster fishing village of Lubec.

Don't miss the chance to attend this annual event on an historic Maine waterfront where you will have the opportunity to see thousands of Pirates, attend the Pirates Ball, watch the Pirate Ship Race and the Pirate Parade, and even participate in the Pirates Bed Race!
