There's a mutiny occurring on Sheffield Island Lighthouse this weekend as pirates invade the scenic hotspot. Families will get a glimpse of pirate life when they take a round-trip ferry ride to the Norwalk Seaport Association's "Pirates Weekend," taking place on Saturday, July 28th and Sunday 29th at 10am, 11:30am and 1pm.

Children will be given pirate hats and eye patches on the boat and once on the island, all visitors will be greeted by pirate re-enactors who will entertain with gunfire and sword fighting demonstrations, sea chanteys, storytelling and other activities. New for 2024 is a fun, self-guided scavenger hunt organized by Rock Paper Scissors Custom Events.

The Norwalk Seaport Association was founded in 1978 by a group of local citizens who had the vision to revitalize South Norwalk and preserve Norwalk’s maritime heritage, including the Sheffield Island Lighthouse.
