Meet Our Staff!

The directors of Michigan Pirate Festival are working hard behind the scenes to make the 2012 Michigan Pirate Festival a grand success. Each director has a team of talented pirates dedicated to creating an entertaining, if somewhat educational, time full of swashbuckling fun for the whole family.

NEW for 2012!

We are looking for Living Historians and Re-enactors to set up encampments for the weekend. We will have two sections this year to encompass all aspects of pirate life; one area will be dedicated to those who portray the REAL history and life of pirates and those who've encountered pirates throughout the ages (soldiers, sailors, Vikings, Romans, buccaneers, etc.), while the second area will be dedicated to fictional pirates of fantasy, literature, and movies (Peter Pan, Treasure Planet, Stardust, Hook, Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Beard's Ghost, Steampunk sky pirates, mermaids, etc.).

We are looking especially for people and groups to interact with the crowd to make the event fun and enriching. Please let us know of your ideas for battle plans, press-gangs, vignettes, tour guides, and other interactive skits that could be integrated into our existing show.

Fill out our APPLICATION and send it to us. We look forward to hearing from you!

If you are willing to volunteer, here is a list of places we could use your help!
