Witness this change as Old San Carlos Boulevard is transformed into Tortuga, where countless pirates and wenches roam the streets. Swords will be raised and pistols may be drawn, and a few coarse words are sure to be exchanged. But there is little need for concern, these are highly trained and professional pirates that perform at a level geared for children of all ages. There will be music, good food and drink, art, craft, and merchandise vendors, choreographed pirates fights, pirate invasions, ship-to-shore battles, treasure hunts and costume contests for young and old, and a living history pirate encampment with period correct styled vendors. So if you are not careful, you just may find yourself having a good time amongst pirates while learning a little history of the golden age of piracy.
