More Flavor: Festival Northern California Pirate Festival

In response to the Million Pirate March that marauded through this year's Bay to Breakers running race, the swashbucklers of the East Bay have assembled their own pirate party — albeit one that's more family-friendly and less dedicated to libation. Captain Jack Sparrow's doppelgänger (who apparently also works as a ventriloquist magician) makes an appearance, and the punk-rock yo-ho-ho-ers of Rum Rebellion jam out an all-ages set. For those lacking eye patches and peg legs, a flotilla of outfitters, including SF's custom-corset boutique Dark Garden, is on site to provide revelers with thematic accessories.
