If you’re in the Key West area between November 24 and December 4, you can be part of The Pirates in Paradise at Truman Waterfront – Old Town Key West. You’ll experience 11 days packed with one exciting adventure after another. There’s something for everyone.
Children will be delighted with the costumes and the authentic re-enactments. They can participate in the costume contest, the coloring contest, and various other activities planned for the younger set. It’s a good way for their absorbent minds to acquire a grasp of the maritime history of Key West and surrounding areas.
For those who enjoy drama, “The Pyrate Tryal Re-enactment of Anne Bonny and Mary Read” is a must-see. There are also Tall Sea Ship Battles, with real cannon and small arms displays. You can sail on a ship and get a taste of how life at sea was in days gone by.
As you walk through the authentic Pirate Village and Thieves Market, you’ll encounter realistic characters like Captain Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Calico Jack and other blackguards. Goods, foods and drink of a wide variety are available. You can stop at the pub for some great spirits and entertainment. Arts, crafts and music are available, also.
The attractions are too many in number to mention all of them in this space. We must call attention, though, to the celebration of the official end of the hurricane season, complete with the ceremonial burning of the hurricane flags. To those living in Key West, this is a special moment.
If adventure and an authentic maritime historical atmosphere are what you want, Key West just might be the right place for you. Please let me know how I can assist you. If you have any questions you can reach me, Margarita Villoch, at 305-304-8505 or online at www.isellkw.com.
