Set sail on the high seas of fun at Ahoy, Mateys! Pirate Family Day from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16 in the Gravely-Lester Art Garden.
This pirate-themed event hosted by Piedmont Arts features crafts with Heart to Art Creative Corner, games and snacks.
Pirates of the Piedmont will perform Celtic-inspired music that is fun for all ages. The upbeat jigs and reels of traditional Celtic music serve as inspiration for this band of rapscallions from Martinsville. They put a contemporary spin on traditional songs by incorporating rock and folk elements. Their performances are an exuberant celebration of Celtic music, encapsulating the spirit of the raucous sea shanties and soul-stirring ballads that have been passed down through the ages.
All ages are welcome. Admission is free. In the event of inclement weather, this event will be held at Piedmont Arts.
This event is sponsored by Brightspeed and Carter Bank.
