The Annual Pirates Week Festival was designed to share part of our history with
both visitors and locals. Features include; music, street dances, costumes,
games, food and drink, "pirate invasion", Kids Day, glittering parade, sports
events, Heritage Days, fireworks! It's 10 fun-filled, festive days in the sun
with something for everyone, and a lot of it FREE!
First it's fireworks, followed by a local song contest and then, almost every
day for 10 days, Caribbean rhythms pulsate in open-air street dances until the
wee hours of the morning. An authentic slice of the native Caribbean!
A mock "pirate invasion" from the sea! Two old-time sailing vessels, loaded with
"pirates" make a Saturday surprise landing at the bowl-shaped George Town
harbour, as thousands line the streets to take part in the spectacle or just
watch. It's good-natured fun, there's a new twist every year, and families just
love it. It's the only event of its kind in the Caribbean region.

Batabano was launched by the
Rotary Club in 1984 and is undoubtedly one of the main highlights of Cayman's
entertainment calendar. The event is an annual affair and is usually held after
Ash Wednesday.
The heart and soul of Batabano is the Mas' (Masquerading) Bands who get the
opportunity to express creativity, imagination and talent, sometimes through the
interpretation of a social issue. While many of the costumes have been
traditionally inspired by Cayman's magnificent marine environment with
interpretations ranging from the regal mantra rays to the anemones, designers
have begun to utilize their costumes to comment on social issues both locally
and worldwide.
Thousands of locals and visitors flock into the streets every year to celebrate
Batabano. Steel pans provide the rhythms, and costumes created from a plethora
of textures and colors fill the streets. The energy is electrifying. Communities
and districts join together to create the floats and Mas' bands to compete for
prizes. Design and choreography become more elaborate each year. It is a time to
celebrate your surroundings, to display creativity, to voice social issues and
of course, to party and unite.
