The Ontario Pirate Festival will take over Marden Park on the civic holiday long-weekend. With a wide-variety of thematic live entertainment aimed at different ages, the Dry Bluffs shanty town will be set up about 1.6 nautical miles north-west of Guelph.
This show features an interview with Captain Zoltan the Adequate, who along with captain Kelly have taken over organizing the festival, following a few years of the event sailing through choppy waters. Beyond the entertainment there will be local vendors, “food for yer gob,” an ale and grog house, “the spray of the sea” (misting tents), and child-focused theater.
Calling this the “recovery breakout year,” Captain Zoltan gives CKMS News a rundown on the festival’s activities, highlights a few of the entertainers who will be there, provides some background on the festival’s voyage, and answers one of life’s big questions “Why Pirates?”
