Blackbeard Pirate Festival

June 3 - June 4, 2023

Led by Blackbeard the Pirate himself, re-enactors help visitors step back in time and relive the history and legends of 1718 Hampton. A presentation ceremony follows the battle, where Lt. Maynard presents Blackbeard's head and crew to VA Governor Spotswood. Visitors can join Blackbeard’s funeral parade, Hampton’s version of Mardi Gras, and share in the booty from his treasure chest.
