The nefarious Seafair Pirates have announced their return for 2016 with their takeover of Alki Beach set for June 25. The event will run from 10am to 6pm and is regularly one that attracts thousands of people. The Pirates are scheduled to land at approximately 2pm depending on the tides.

The Pirate's landing is much more than just their arrival of course and will feature live music, kid’s activities AND live “Pirate Play” demonstrations like bullwhip stunts, swordplay, and general swashbuckling with fully costumed characters.

Because it kicks off Seafair, Seattle's annual maritime festival it attracts media attention too and public officials, Seafair princesses, and more are expected to attend.
