Attend a pirates ball, watch sailboats battle, participate in pirate costume contests and enjoy historical encampments, demonstrations, battles, crafts and entertainment. These are just a few of the Key West Pirates in Paradise four day event that allows you to unleash your inner pirate. Don’t miss the Pyrates of the Coast National Walk the Plank Championships at Key West’s Historic Seaport in Old Town on December 4th where wanna-be-pirates plead for their lives – or better yet, walk the plank yourself!
