2011 Mahone Bay Pirate Festival & Regatta

The Mahone Bay Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the 2011 Mahone Bay Pirate Festival and Regatta on July 29, 30, and 31.  The festival continues to build on twenty-two successful years of the Wooden Boat Festival and last year’s first ever Mahone Bay Regatta featuring Pirate Days. It’s all about a community’s celebration of our region’s historic relationship with the sea. Classic boats, pirate artifacts, marauding buccaneers, musicians and competitive sailing events will entertain and engage the whole family. Mahone Bay has been a treasure since 1754 and the pirates are coming to find it.
