Stay tuned for lots of special events for ye Seadogs and Landlubbers alike!

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 Brewery, offering delicious food and refreshing beverages 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. Don’t miss out on the treasure trove of fun that awaits!

Explore the Curse of Pirate Cove, an inflatable walkthrough at the North Shore Pirate Market (Pirate Fest hours, admission fee). Some say you can even glimpse the ghostly pirate crew from Mudhouse Manor!
