Walk the Plank at the New England Pirate Faire!


A friend pointed me at this -- the New England Pirate Faire. It's like a Ren Faire, but with pirates! From the site:

Pastimes’ beloved family-friendly show returns to Salem June 29 & 30

Pastimes Entertainment of Revere returns to Pioneer Village: Salem 1630 for the New England Pirate Faire, the most popular event in the historical attraction’s 83-year history.

[...]

Pastimes will present the original adventure, “Felicity Dane and the Diamond in the Rough.” In this family-friendly interactive adventure, a plucky young girl finds herself an unlikely ally to Captain Anne Bonney as she searches for the legendary Windjammer Diamond. Unfortunately for them both, several other pirates are also hunting for the lost treasure -- among them, none other than Blackbeard himself.

In addition to the thrilling story, the day will feature interactive scenes that will make the audience part of the adventure, black powder and cannon demonstrations, pirate games, the unique merchants that make up the Tortuga Marketplace, food and refreshments, and live music.

It runs this Saturday and Sunday, June 29 and 30, 2013, from 10a-6p, rain or shine, at Pioneer Village in Salem, MA. General admission is $14, youth 4-11 are $10, and kids 3 and under get in free. Members of the military and seniors receive a $2 discount at the box office with proper ID. Free on-site parking is available.

This sounds like a blast.
