All Points Bulletin!

ByJ.S.

Ahoy, mates! We hope this message finds ye in good health and high spirits! Family Pyrate Day, (an original NOLA Pyrate Week festivity) sails again, filled with treasure, music, and family fun! It’s always a pleasure to visit with our mates on the “Wet Bank” of New Orleans – Algiers Point is a hidden gem and a wonderfully welcoming community.

Sat. 28 March, 10am – 2pm at Bargeboard NOLA, 530 Powder Street, New Orleans, LA

Activities may include…

  • Treasure Hunt with the Friends of the Hubbell Library
  • Crafts by Confetti Kids
  • Live Music by The Scurvy Baratarians, The Confetti Park Players kids choir, and pyrate troubadour Dave Famous – with both original and traditional songs.
  • Pyratical Facts & Fiction with the Capt. & QM (NOLA Pyrate Society & founders of NOLA Pyrate Week)
  • Antique shopping at Bargeboard
  • Fumó Latin Caribbean BBQ
  • KONA Ice of Crescent City (Snowballs)

One of the main goals of Family Pyrate Day is the sense of community and camaraderie! Families, friends, and neighbours gather to celebrate, forge new friendships, and create lasting memories.

A hearty “THANK YE!” to Bargeboard NOLA for hosting us again – and for being a massive hub for community rebuilding & renovating, promoting local artists, teaching and generally building up the community. If ye haven’t visited them yet, make the trip! Bargeboard is a location for architectural salvage of all kinds (shutters, pillars, doors, furniture…), advice/help with Historic Renovations, custom Millwork onsite, a wealth of local art for your walls & body, and a community hub for local events like a healthy food market!

Of course, no Family Pyrate Day would be complete (or even exist) without the exceptional effort and participation of Katy Hobgood Ray and the Confetti Park Kids!

Stay Connected: We’d love to see your photos from the day! Share your favourite moments with us on social media using the hashtag #FamilyPyrateDay (tag/follow the Captain on Instagram & BlueSky)! Keep an eye on our website for updates on future events and activities – make sure you’re “on the account” to be among the first to find out
