If you visit the Cayman Islands during this time then you will experience pirate parades round the clock, contests for costume, fireworks, sports, music, fairs and unlimited fun.
During the Pirates Week, in the evening the roads are blocked in George Town. This is because the entire Island remains busy partying all night. You can see the islanders dancing and merry making under the sky to local tunes and bands. You can also enjoy a wide variety of local food available during the festival.
The sparkling fireworks are followed by local song contests and then for continuous 11 days, Caribbean rhythms reverberate in the open-air accompanied by street dances till dawn. The most interesting part of the festival is the mock “pirate invasion” from the sea.

The pirates week is only such a colorful in the Caribbean islands. So if you have plans to visit the Cayman Islands do visit during this time to experience unlimited fun.
