You're Invited to Join the Celebration

We're celebrating the Island's history and unique culture with a theme that is part of our history - Pirate Days.
How can you join in the fun?

  • Wear your pirate garb.
  • Attend the official "Opening Ceremony" on April 10: the "Birthday Party with a Pirate Flair" at Louie's Backyard on Friday night, April 11: the beach activities on Saturday morning, April 12; and the "Pirate Bazaarrrr Family Fun Festival" at Louie's Backyard parking lot on Saturday afternoon, April 12.
  • Register your business as a partner in offering special discounts or promotions to Birthday Party attendees - a 10% discount, a free dessert with an entrée, a drawing for a special gift -- some special incentive for persons who visit your business wearing the celebration medallion, the birthday T-shirt, or pirate garb.
