Pirate Festival, St. Helens Climb aboard as the 6th an- nual Portland Pirate Festival sets sail for two exciting days of piratical fun and family ad- venture while we invade the historic waterfront of St. He- lens. The Festival begins on Saturday, September 3, ends on Sunday, September 4, and features all of the fun and ex- citement it has become famous for, with the awesome addition of more access for boaters! The new location in St He- lens, (Portland’s nearest es- cape and film location for the first Twilight movie) offers a va- riety of great changes to this staple NW festival, including a beautiful spot on the Columbia River, an Olde Towne setting and ample moorage for boats at the city docks and on Sand Island. Other fun new events in 2011 will include the addition of Mermaid Lagoon; wild costume parades lead by The Last Reg- iment Drummers and The Ore- gon Defense Force Pipe Band; the comedy of Cap’n Chris the Hypnotist; Curtis Carlyle Seri- ously Funny Juggling, and the whip cracking Lefty Caress.
