pIrATes Week
November
This much-anticipated festival is the highlight of the festival year, a celebration of the pirate that has everyone dressing up and taking part in some good-natured pirating. While locals love this fun-filled week, many overseas visitors schedule their vacation just to take part. Indeed it is not uncommon for planes to be full to the brim of pirates at this time of year as they head towards Cayman. (You have been warned!) Enjoy the incredible firework displays, entertaining pirates’ landing at the George Town waterfront, evening music, dancing and street food and heritage day celebrating each of Grand Cayman’s districts, as well as on the Sister Islands, too.
