Ahoy, Mateys!

The Portland Pirate Festival? Two days of an insane amount of fun. Nonstop music and dancing, sword fights, cannons, face painting, parrot and puppet shows, street performers and hundreds of very cheerful pirates (not counting the thousands of visitors dressed up, too!).
Clara meets a pirate (hmm...think we're getting this child on Santa's lap this year? The mamas are very doubtful!)
