Walk The Plank Pirate Parade

Get ready to set sail for a swashbuckling adventure at the Walk the Plank Pirate Parade, happening on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 1 PM. Join us at Port Royal, specifically the Harbor Community Center, for a fun walk along the dam and through part of Buckeye Lake with pirate-themed fun and excitement.

The parade route is less than a mile and will proceed from Port Royal to the North Shore Ramp, along the dam, and then go in front of the Boatyard, then across the street in front of the Chef Shack and Buckeye Lake Brewery ending back at Port Royal.

This thrilling event is proudly sponsored by the Chef Shack and Buckeye Lake Boat Rental offering delicious food and pleasure boating opportunities to keep your spirits high. Whether you’re a seasoned buccaneer or a landlubber, don your finest pirate attire and prepare for a day of camaraderie, creativity, and community spirit.
