Pirates to invade downtown Milford Sunday

By -

Cap'n Kidd Treasure Hunt (free and open to the public) Sunday June 10 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Downtown Milford

For over 300 years, people of all ages have searched for Captain Kidd's treasure. Join Captain Kidd and his crew as they sail into Milford Harbor, kidnap Mayor Blake and "take over" downtown Milford on Sunday, June 10th from noon to 5 pm.  Come dressed as a pirate and be a part of Connecticut's best and largest scavenger hunt! 

Participants will pick a downtown treasure map and a booty bag, follow the clues listed on the map and fill up your booty bags with treasures galore. Here's a clue…Only the places displaying Pirate Flags will have the booty you seek!  While you are collecting your booty, look out for the Black Pearl as she makes her way through downtown.  The Pirates of Las Tortoga will pillage and plunder and cause mayhem.  There is even heard tell of a duel between the Las Tortoga Pirates and the Black Flag Crue.

Be sure to stop by the Gazebo on the Green to listen to live, local bands, and take a gander at Captain Hook as he looks for more crew members.  Put on your best pirate garb and join Captain Kidd and Captain Hook for the first ever pirate parade. The parade will start at the gazebo and Captain Kidd will be judging for the best in show pirate.
