Pirates week

I hope everyone had a great weekend after the Fourth of July! What did everyone do? I hope everyone had a safe holiday. Speaking of celebrations, the Cayman Islands has celebrations every year too. You can call them festivals if you prefer. One of the festivals is called Pirates Week. Pirates Week is in November for the week of the 8th throughout the 18th. It is a very exciting time to visit the Cayman Islands. Hotels, restaurants, and more have specials and deals this week on the islands. The festivities all start with the first of many firework displays viewed the best from George Town. Throughout the week there is a parade through George Town and costume contests of how dresses up as the best pirate. You can enjoy music, street dances, food festivals, and sporting events during the ten day festival. There are also many activities for children. You will definitely experience the heritage and culture of the island.


The islands have been celebrating this event for around 35 years. Not only is it celebrated on the Grand Cayman, it is also celebrated on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Pirates are everywhere! Festivities include the float parade ( as previously said), cardboard boat race, sea swims, 5K walks or runs, turtle releases, and a lot more! In addition to all the events, there is always great food on the islands! You will get to experience different foods like Conch stew, turtle, fritters, lobster, other fish and a lot of other choices! So find a hotel deal today before it is too late to book your next Cayman Island trip. Enjoy the festivities!
