The Pirate Parade in Fernandina Beach always kicks-off the festivities for the Annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival.
Thursday, May 2, 2019, at promptly 6:00 p.m., nearly all of Amelia Island’s groups, organizations, services, businesses, politicians, dancers, cheerleaders, high school marching bands, jeeps, motorcycles, and a ton of walkers will hit the street and march in this two hour parade.
… Stick around until the end, you don’t want to miss the finale; this year it is three giant pirate ships with all of the booms and fanfare you would expect!
Be sure to head back downtown after the parade for a special – Thursday presentation – of one of our local’s favorite events, Sounds on Centre.
