Key Details for Blackbeard Pirate Festival 2020
Event Type/s: Festival
Starts: Saturday, May 30, 2020
Ends: Sunday, May 31, 2020
Location/s: Hampton, Virginia, United States

If you're looking for something to do in Hampton, Virginia in May 2020, we'd highly recommend Blackbeard Pirate Festival 2020. According to the official Facebook Page, this event will take place in Hampton, Virginia, the United States, from Saturday, May 30th to Sunday, May 31st 2020.

Whilst we can't make any promises at this stage, tall ships have taken part in previous editions of this event.

With a past edition having been named the USA's 3rd best pirate festival (by USA Today) you sure won't be disappointed. This is a fantastic opportunity to step back in time to the the early 18th century and witness Hampton like never before - overrun by pirates!

You can expect fun and festivities for all the family, from special activities for the younger ones right through to live music and entertainment taking place throughout the event, but that's not all. In what is truly an event not to miss, Blackbeards' final battle will likely be reenacted in Hampton harbour, filling the area with the sound of cannon fire.

For the event schedule, public opening hours and ticket information please visit their official website as timings may be subject to change and your visit may require booking in advance.
