Blackbeard’s Pirate Festival in Hampton. June 2, 2016.
HAMPTON Va. – Once a year visitors from all over the country enjoy the sights and sounds of 18th century Hampton overrun by pirates.
Hampton’s waterfront comes alive with dozens of pirate re-enactors, costumed in historically accurate garb, who transform today’s Hampton into the busy seaport of yesterday.
Led by Blackbeard the Pirate himself, re-enactors help visitors step back in time and re-live the history and legends of 1718 Hampton.
The Festival offers a variety of children’s activities, live musical entertainment, fireworks, period vendors, arts and crafts, and much more!
The festival kicks off on Saturday, June 2 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, June 3 from noon to 6 p.m.
All day access wrist bands are available for $5.
