Say ahoy to a celebration of sea-faring scoundrels, all for a good cause.

Overview

One day of the year, adding "arr!" to the end of your sentences and calling everyone matey is acceptable. That'd be International Talk Like A Pirate Day, aka September 19th — and of course there's a Brisbane-based event to commemorate such an occasion.

Say ahoy to Pirate Fest 2015, Club Greenslopes' afternoon of themed shenanigans. As well as ample grog in the form of tankards of rum, there'll be a 13-band line-up live music, burlesque beauties, roving vagabonds, treasure giveaways, barefoot “cannon-bowls”, a trader’s bazaar, retro gaming and some mighty fine grub.

There'll also be prizes for best costumes, too, because you can't go to something called Pirate Fest without donning an eye patch, ruffled shirt, hat or arriving with a talking parrot on your shoulder. Those getting into the full swing of things won’t be the only ones who win, either, with the $10 per person entry fee going towards charities supporting depression research.
