The 2022 Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival includes a Concert at the Landing featuring the Hollywood Vagabonds from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 13th. As Mayor Rynearson is listening to the great music, Captain Billy 66 will attempt an initial invasion of the Fort Walton Beach Landing Park (131 Brooks Street SE).

On Saturday, May 14th, at the Fort Walton Beach Landing Park there will be pirate-themed activities for kids from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. including DJ on stage, bounce house pirate ship and face painting.  Food and beverage concessions will be available for purchase as well as Bowlegs t-shirts for sale at the Bowlegs Pirate Ship Float!  Be sure to be there at 2 p.m. to prepare for the arrival of Captain Billy 66 and his krewe of scallywags as they march inland distributing beads, booty and coins (photo ops available in front of Bowlegs Pirate Ship) and continue their mischief Downtown and attempt to take over the City from Mayor Rynearson.

Everyone is invited to a block party with live entertainment on Ferry Road SE between Burrito del Sol and the Salty Duck – DJ from 3-9 p.m. at the Blackhawk Pirate Ship on Ferry Road – where Captain Billy himself will join the party. The night will be capped off with a fireworks display Downtown at 8:30 p.m.!

You don’t want to miss this FREE event! See you there.
