Its this time of year again... Pirates Week 2014! The Cayman Islands celebrates the piratey heritage with street parties, fireworks and the landing of the pirates.
It is an excellent time to visit the island as it marks the end of the hurricane season, and it is a great time to mix with locals and enjoy the island life. Silver Sands offers low season rates during this time of year so please contact us for accommodation during this time.
The tradition is for the pirates to land in Hog Sty Bay in downtown Georgetown and kidnap the governor, followed by a parade and street party.
It is also a great photo op! Barb Photography was kind enough to let us use some of her photos from last weekend's parade and festivities.
There is fun for adults and children alike with participants dressing up in the lastest pirate fashion.
The party in Georgetown begins and ends with a street party and a fantastic display of fireworks!
There are Heritage Day celebrations through out the week celebrating each districts culture and traditions. These events include dancing, cat boat races and an assortment of local dishes for sale.
Heather Holt Photography also contributed to the images from pirates week's past.
