The 67th Annual Billy Bowlegs Torchlight Parade is back in Fort Walton Beach, and it promises to be a weekend filled with fun, entertainment, and plenty of pirate-themed festivities.
The Torchlight Parade, sponsored by Step One Automotive Group, will take place on Monday, May 22nd, 2023, starting at 7:00 p.m.
But the Torchlight Parade is just one of the many events taking place during the 67th Annual Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival. Here’s a look at everything taking place, starting today.
The weekend kicks off with the Skirmish on Friday, May 19th, where Captain Billy Bowlegs and his Honor Guard will try to land on Fort Walton Beach Landing.
The Mayor and the Fort Walton Beach Police Department are ready to arrest Captain Billy if he attempts to land, but the pirate captain is not one to back down easily.
On Saturday, May 20th, Captain Billy and his Krewe will return, along with visiting Krewes from across the county, for the final battle to take over the city.
The Mayor will unleash a secret weapon to stop Captain Billy, but it will be no match for the pirate captain’s forces.
The Krewe will take over the city and celebrate their victory throughout the weekend.
With live music, entertainment, fireworks, and plenty of food and drink available throughout the weekend, the 67th Annual Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival promises to be a swashbuckling good time.
