The Battle for Derby Street” is a swashbuckling festival packed with adventure\, history\, music and mischief for the pirates in all of us.

Expect a bustling pirate thoroughfare full of treasure maps and prizes\, live pirate skirmishes\, maritime lectures and demonstrations; music\, roaming performers\, artisan merchants and themed food and drink specials from local restaurants. Costumes welcome for photo ops and plenty of other surprises await! \nParticipants will want to check in starting at 10 am to pick up a treasure map and guide to the Derby Street participating merchant crew\, where treasure hunt clues will be furnished. A concluding event will take place at the end of the day featuring prizes for the winners of the treasure hunt and more entertainment. The event will conclude during daylight hours but participants are encouraged to stay longer in the area to enjoy after-festival dining\, treats and shopping in the area. \nCostumes welcome! Wear comfortable walking shoes. And bring your rain gear in case of inclement weather.
