Press Release:

    GREENVILLE, N.C.     Friday night at PirateFest marks the opening night of the festival's Carnival, which will take over all of Five Points Plaza and will feature a Ferris wheel, games, food and more.

    From 5-9 p.m. on Friday, April 7th only, attendees can take advantage of an all-you-can-ride $20 wristband at the Carnival. Festival-goers may purchase a $20 wristband at the carnival and ride to their heart's content! Bring family, friends, and colleagues for a night of fun and games to get the full PirateFest experience starting Friday night and leading into our full-day festival on Saturday.

    Our rides include Scat, a 360-degree tipsy-turvy, sit-in explosion of fun. The Fun Slide is a 3-slide radius of fun for kids of all ages! The Super Spinner is the tipsy-teacup copycat with a small-town twist. Our Wind Jammer is jam-packed with fun for ride-a-longs with the whole family!

    The Carousel ride brings the classic Carnival experience for all festival-goers to enjoy. Our rock climbing wall is 25 feet tall and climbers who reach the top will win Carnival prizes!
