This ship is coming in! Join the crew and become a sponsor of the 3rd annual Portland Pirate Festival today!
Not only were the first two years a great success based on the extraordinary attendance and great times to be had by everyone; but by the ever growing sentiment that this event needs to become a permanent fixture in the NW’s festival season. We have created a truly enjoyable celebration and are now working hard to increase our exposure and continue building a sustainable, family oriented, international music event that is unique in the Northwest and known all over the world.
“We came further up the river to Portland for the second annual Pirate Festival . . . So awesome words can barely begin to describe it.”
— Christine Olea, LYNX Crew
“Thanks for letting us be part of the festival . . . our radio station would love to take a major part in your next event.”
