  • The PORTLAND PIRATE FESTIVAL is an annual family-oriented event that promotes fun and education through Historical Re-enactment, Music, Dance, and Interactive Theater along with cultural awareness while providing philanthropic involvement with local and national charities.

    If you've ever dreamt about Treasure Island or longed for a peg leg and a shoulder-perching parrot, rush to this incredibly fun festival. Cathedral Park is recreated as a pirate village, peopled by costumed attendees and featuring a 19th-century privateer, cannon fights, and all sorts of talented buskers. Music, entertainment, food and drink (a pint of ale, anyone?), and a market featuring all things nautical, historical, and pirate-related (down to buccaneer hats, swords, and garb for endangered damsels) can be found. Kids' activities add a family-friendly quality, and good-natured revelry is widespread.

  • Hosted by Club Bouchees: 144 Pine Ave., Long Beach, CA, USA (MAP)
  • The Pirates Charles need YOU to come and make some noise!
    All ages event with full bar. $15.00 per ticket. Doors open at 1PM for all day/ night music fest. The Pirates Charles at 7:00 PM, March 21st.

    Revolutionary Entertainment is once again promoting The Pirates Charles, at the next Maximum Exposure Showcase. (A HUGE opportunity for us! For those of you that don't know it, a 'Showcase' refers specifically to a gig in which record execs and managers and other music industry people are 'shopping' for bands. A showcase is unlike other gigs because of the V.I.P.s hosting the event, watching from the crowd, seeking great bands to form business relationships with.)

    The Pirates Charles will be performing at this showcase, rather specifically, to draw the attention of further record execs and music industry professionals. The last "Max. Exp. Showcase" we played brought us into contact and communication with professionals and managers that are currently working with us to develop our career in order to enable us to play music full time.

    I'd like to thank all the friends, fans, and pirates that showed up to the last one. Your presence at the last one was more valuable than I can illustrate in helping us capture the attention of the management, promoters, and record execs present. We did so well last time, in fact, that we were given our choice of stage times for this event!

    In January, YOU (our fans) helped us get the attention of every single professional we sought out to meet. ~Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.~ To those who wish to support us further, and help us reach our goals as musicians, please come (dressed piratically or street), bring friends, and above all, make some noise to show the professionals behind this one just how much you love The Pirates Charles!

    Thank you for your support in January! With your help this time, who knows what tomorrow will hold!

    Anyway- getting side tracked here- Come to the show

    Buy a ticket pre-sale its only $15
    PLUS: I've got coupons for our merch. it won't save you any money, but it sends a buck my way for my fiddle-tits-fund.

    Message me and we can arrange a day to swap a ticket for your money

    Tickets are $20 at the door

  • SACRAMENTO: TBA (MAP)
  • Families have been attending the haunted houses put on by the folks from ScaryU for years. It has become an integral part of Rancho Cordova Halloween festivities. Run by the non-profit Jewell Performing Arts Center in Rancho Cordova, this teen program teaches students to build and run a haunted house from the ground up at no charge to the students. This year was a tough one, as they were broken into and thieves made off with about $30,000 worth of props, costumes and tools collected over the years. Despite the loss, the kids decided “the show must go on” and they scrambled to replace the stolen goods in time to open the show. They received donations from the community and businesses donated computers. Unfortunately, the two weekends the show was open were the first rainstorms of the season and attendance was down compared to previous years.

    The Pirates of Sacramento, a social group of pirate re-enactors, are having a pirate costume ball on January 24 to benefit ScaryU. This event is the first of it’s kind in Sacramento and promises great entertainment. Music will be provided by The Pirates Charles
