The islands will come alive with delicious food, crafts and fun that create an inclusive atmosphere for families and individuals: locals, residents and tourists, young and old.<\/p><p>The \u201cPirates Week\u201d of the Pirates Fest, held in Grand Cayman, starts with a fantastic happy hour, kick-off party and Steelpan Competition on Thursday 11th November and on Friday night, the festival goes off with a bang at the spectacular fireworks display over Seafarer\u2019s Way and to the beat of the very best live music emanating from the main stage. The entire weekend is packed with activities for all ages including the Pirates Landing, Float parade, Cardboard Boat Regatta, flotilla, and competitions.
