The Louisiana Pirate Festival is adding a premier event to the 2018 festivities. Join us for the inaugural Louisiana Pirate Festival Costume Ball on Friday, May 11, at the Lake Charles Civic Center’s Buccaneer Room.

The festivities begin with an opening reception from 7:30-8:30 pm, featuring a complimentary welcome cocktail from Bayou Rum and pirate-pleasing cuisine from several local restaurants. The Whiskey Bay Rovers will also be there, playing seafaring tunes at the reception!

From 8:30-11:30, party like a Pirate to the sounds of the Mixed Nuts, praised by many as “the best special events band in the country”.

“As guests arrive, they will be enchanted by the Caribbean feel of the ball, with parrots, palm trees and festive pirate décor. We cannot wait to transform the space into a wonderland of the islands to create the perfect atmosphere for an event to remember. I am encouraging everyone I see to make plans to attend this incredible pirate costume ball,” said Anne Monlezun, co-chair of the Louisiana Pirate Festival Costume Ball.
