It's fall in Tennessee--a time for costumes and parties--It’s time for a PIRATE FEST! Join us on Sat/Sun, October 8 & 9, from 11am-6pm for the first annual TENNESSEE PIRATE FEST! It’s brought to you by the creators of the Tennessee Medieval Faire. The PIRATE FEST is an adult targeted (PG13) but still family friendly celebration of those outlaws of the sea. Professional entertainment include live music, interactive comedy shows, roaming characters, free games, karaoke, a costume contest, great crafts, food and beverages, including beer. The only thing missing is YOU!
So, if you can talk like a pirate, think Jack Sparrow should still rule the seas, and believe that 'swashbuckler' is the coolest word in the dictionary--THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!
