Pirate Fest returns to Fort Myers Beach - Florida Weekly

Salty Sam’s Marina will bring back Pirate Fest to Fort Myers Beach on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, running 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., timed to International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The marina plans to transform its waterfront into a pirate-themed event for families, boaters, locals and visitors, encouraging attendees to dress as pirates. Activities include pirate games, treasure hunts, live music, craft vendors, and pirate-themed food and drinks, plus interactions with the “Salty Sam’s pirate crew.” A highlight will be a pirate ship brought near the festivities for guests to board and play onboard games. Both Parrot Key Caribbean Grill and Marina Cantina Tin Tiki will offer special Pirate Fest menus.
