Ahoy Pirates!

Since 2016, buccaneers from far and near have competed to claim the illustrious title of Pirate King of Northglenn. Once again, Pirate Fest approaches and the challenge returns: Do you have what it takes to lead this motley crew? Now entirely on-site during Pirate Night, Sept. 19^th, the bold and most ruthless among ye are called to a series of test and trials to see who shall be the last pirate standing.

Pirate King Information

The Pirate King will be crowned on the Main Stage at Pirate Night and is invited to reign supreme throughout Pirate Fest and oversee shenanigans like selecting the Pirate King’s Choice Award at the Pirate Fest Regatta.

Your reign includes the privilege to carry the Pirate King staff (and add your mark to it), drink tokens for you to celebrate, meals from the festival galley, and a throne for you and you alone for the remainder of the festival so you may reign victorious and enjoy the celebration in style!
