Ahoy, mateys! Come rain or shine, the 4th annual Hudson Valley Pirate Festival is back and bigger than ever. Dive into a world where pirates rule and fantasy abounds, with a bustling lineup of live entertainment, over 75 vendors, and an array of eats and drinks sourced from ports of call around the world. The festival features swashbuckling captains, their mischievous crews, wenches, mermaids, faeries, and a myriad of other roaming characters. With games of skill, a dedicated children’s area, and many more surprises, the Pirate Festival is fun for the whole family. The only exception is the raunchy “Adult Night” show on Saturday from 7pm-11pm, where you’ll find cleavage contests, banana eating, and “Chicken Strippers”, a game that organizers describe as “Marco Polo meets Blind Man Bluff meets strip poker, only with chickens.” Check out hvpiratefest.20m.com.
