Every Summer, Thousands Flock To This Louisiana Town For The Louisiana Pirate Festival
With more than 400 festivals in Louisiana each year, you can bet there’s always something going on here in the Pelican State. Most of Louisiana’s festivals celebrate our unique history, culture, or food, but the Louisiana Pirate Festival steps out of the box and celebrates a different side of Louisiana’s history. Pirates!
Jean Lafite, Louisiana's most infamous pirate, was known to cruise through Lake Charels during his time, and many believe he buried his treasure in these waters (or the nearby Contraband Bayou).
If you're arriving by boat, don't forget to dress up your boat!
There are a host of festival events like cannon demonstrations, costume contests, and more. Every year a few local notables "walk the plank" as a tradition, and it's all part of the fun!
The two-weekend festival is jam-packed with events. Check the Louisiana Pirate Festival website as the date gets closer to see the full schedule.
As one of Louisiana's oldest festivals, it's sure to pass a good time!
