Ahoy, Las Vegas families and adventure seekers — PirateFestLV is sailing back into Craig Ranch Park on April 11th and 12th, 2026, for a weekend packed with swashbuckling fun, fantasy, and unforgettable entertainment.
This lively community festival blends the worlds of pirates, Renaissance, and fantasy into one exciting celebration with something for every age to enjoy.
Guests can spend the day exploring immersive pirate experiences, enjoying delicious food, and taking part in games and activities across the festival grounds. The entertainment lineup promises high-energy excitement, including Gladius the Show, where majestic Clydesdale horses and their daring riders defend the Pirate Fest realms in spectacular fashion.
Families can also gather for The Captain’s Challenge, where rival pirate captains clash in thrilling battles of swords and muskets, or join in the fun during spirited Sea Shanty Sing-Alongs.
Young pirates will have plenty to discover during the Treasure Map Adventure, where they can complete interactive tasks like walking the plank, swabbing the deck, hoisting sails, learning knots, and creating pirate gear. After completing their adventure, kids can earn a Letter of Marque and become Official Pirates of PirateFestLV.
Over in Kid’s Cove, families can enjoy pirate puppet shows, visit mermaids, meet pirate captains, and watch authentic pirate doubloons being made by drop hammer.
For adults 21 and older, PirateFestLV also offers a more spirited side of the festival, including rum tasting, a guided pub crawl, and the brand-new 21+ Pirate Tavern.
Guests looking to upgrade their experience can choose VIP admission, which includes perks like private parking and premium seating.
With Craig Ranch Park’s spacious parking lot and easy rideshare access, getting there is simple for locals and visitors alike.
Best of all, proceeds from the festival support the Paradise Ranch Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, making this a fun-filled weekend that also gives back to the community.
Whether you come dressed in full pirate attire or just ready for a day of family fun, PirateFestLV 2026 invites everyone to join the adventure.
Don’t just watch the pirates… BE THE PIRATE!
