This post documents my experience on August 11, 2018.
Out at the Mosquito Lake Marina…
…a strange ship was docked…
…with a skeleton crew…
…an underfed parrot…
…and many festival-luvin’ mateys…
…who came to treasure the Moskito Lake Pirate Festival.
Although a rather small fest…
…there was a fun pirate atmosphere…
…with some treasure hunting for kids…
…potential ship and treasure winnings through some raffles (Trumbull Boat Club)…
…festival themed face painting…
…plenty of pirate shirts and souvenirs…
…including pirate coconut wind chimes…
…and your basic assortment of grub…
…and assorted snacks.
And, if you came after five (as many people did with their folding chairs)…
…you could sit back and enjoy some fine musical entertainment.
