BILL JOHNSTON'S PIRATE DAYS - Aug 12, 2011 - Aug 21, 2011
Alexandria Bay located in the beautiful Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River and home to the infamous pirate Bill Johnston. One of his more daring exploits has become an annual re-enactment for Alexandria Bay. Bill Johnston's Pirate Days is a ten-day fun filled event for all members of the family. The festival starts off with a block dance on Friday evening to prepare for the Invasion of the Pirates on Saturday afternoon. Watch as the pirate ship attacks the Village from the St. Lawrence River, as the brave villagers try to stave them off. The air is filled with smoke, sound of musket fire and cannons; eventually the villagers succumb as the pirates invade the town. After the Mayor surrenders the key to the village to the invading marauders, everyone becomes a pirate. The week is filled with activities for children such as balloon sculpting, magic shows and the opportunity to win a great prize from the scavenger hunt. There is a raft race on Sunday and a Grand Parade on Sunday. There will be live entertainment throughout the week and don't forget the ever-present pirates who will remain in the village all week performing at various locations. Remember to bring your Pirate costume, as you most certainly don't want to stand out and be a prime target for the Pirates to capture! [web site]
