The 2008 festival started out as a small event with the intention of providing a few hundred people a family oriented afternoon on Osceola Street.
The festival opened and the people came out, and to our surprise they just kept coming! A passing shower and a couple of good downpours sent the masses into the local shops for cover. But amazingly, as the rains diminished the people didn't leave, this crowd was enjoying their Pirate Festival and nothing was going to take that away!
Unofficial estimates had the attendance of our first year's one day event at well over two thousand.
The increase in sponsorships have allowed this event to grow.
The 2nd Annual Treasure Coast Pirate Fest is on Course to be Bigger and Better this Year!
With 80 vendor booths, non-stop piratical mayhem, and entertainment on 3 stages, the 2009 Treasure Coast Pirate Fest now encompasses an even larger area to accommodate its continued growth.
In order to keep this festival free to the public we count on contributions, donations, volunteers and most of allour sponsors
