From the last weekend of March through the first weekend of April every year, the citizens of New Orleans celebrate NOLA Pyrate Week – 10 days of swashbuckling, art, music, food, events and general camaraderie among the Pyrates of New Orleans – past & present – and their mates from around the globe!

We’ve taken all the fun and also made it meaningful – throughout the 10 days Pyrates give back to the city they love…volunteering with rebuilding projects like lowernine.org and raising funds for many others. In 2009 we helped raise $10,000 for various charities in the city, including $8,000 to the family of NOPD Det. Tommie Felix.

NOLA Pyrate Week was originally conceived and developed in the heart of New Orleans by a small group of like minded “Pyrates of The New World” – now joined by many other Pyrates, Artists, Musicians, Community/Charitable Organizations, Krewes, Local Businesses and other citizens who support our creed: “Take what ye can…GIVE something back!”™

New Orleans

New Orleans. Pyrates. Do we really need to explain it?

Well, for those who napped through history class, the City of New Orleans and south through the bayous of Barataria has been  home to some of the most (in)famous Pyrates in the new world; Jean & Pierre Lafitte, Renato Beluche,  Dominique Youx and their associates were drawn to the mix of music, art, culture (and opportunity) that is the lifeblood of New Orleans – and they helped it grow – in fact they helped make it a US state!

There’s a lot to love about New Orleans, especially the richness of it’s culture and the personality of it’s people – many of it’s citizens came for a visit…and made it their home!

There is still a lot of work to be done in restoring New Orleans to it’s former glory and there are many who have taken the task of rebuilding to heart. The Pyrates come to celebrate, but also come to help by lending strong backs, steady hands and loud voices to rebuild, raise funds and awareness by making their second home a place to be proud of!

Join us…volunteer…and take in the music, art, culture (and opportunity) of one of the oldest and greatest cities in North America – the Pyrates are givin’ back!
