The New England Pirate Faire returns! Pastimes, in partnership with Salem Pioneer Village, presents a day of high-seas adventure and interactive family fun in the historic setting of Pioneer Village, the nation's very first living history museum.

Join some of history's most infamous pirates as they launch a daring raid on the village, or side with the brave villagers of Salem Town as they fight for their home during a day-long storyline that makes the audience part of the show.

Plus, shop with unique vendors in the village marketplace, witness thrilling live swordplay, see musket and blacksmithing demonstrations, and sing a rollicking sea shanty alongside the pirate crews.

This is a rain-or-shine show. Proceeds benefit Salem Pioneer Village.
