Whether celebrating the end of the growing season, or chowing down on regional fare like Livermush, the annual festivals in North Carolina are a heaping handful of fun. Among the many things North Carolinians know how to do (and do well!) is throw a party. And this is one the entire family will love.

The 14th annual PirateFest promises to delight and entertain with two full days of swashbuckling fun in Uptown Greenville.
