Ahoy, Vegas! A new fest is in town. Think Renaissance Fair, with its charm, vendors, live music and fun activities…but make it piratey. The 2025 Pirate Fest Las Vegas sets sail this weekend, on April 26–27, at Craig Ranch Regional Park in North Las Vegas.
What to do at Pirate Fest Las Vegas
This fest is fun for the whole family, so you can expect activities for all. There’s a spectacle with Clydesdale horses and gladiator-style battles, a lively contest of swordplay (pick your favorite pirate!), and puppet shows and magics acts for the little ones. Kids can also complete tasks like walking the plank to earn pirate booty and become the real deal: pirates!
Adults can indulge in a special whiskey & rum tasting, while learning about their history and production. There’ll be live bands, and shanty sing along…don’t be shy! A food court will offer full meals and pirate-themed snacks, and many local vendors will feature unique souvenirs. Who leaves a pirate fest without a pirate hat?!
For all ages, there’s a history expedition, where everyone can learn fun and intriguing stories about history’s real pirates. There’s also a Celtic Caterer, where one can learn how to cook traditional Scottish foods.
Oh, and if you’re really into pirates…you can even tie the knot or review your vows at this Pirate Fest in Vegas! You choose how: pirate, steampunk, or fantasy style.
