Calling all fairies, pirates, elves, wizards, hobbits and gnomes to Pixie Harbor Hoopla in Bucksport!

Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce brings this first year event to Bucksport this summer in response to Friends of Fort Knox's Pirate Day held the day before. Pixie Harbor Hoopla is a "magical" themed festival and a friendly uplifting fun day! Fairies & Pirates of all ages are invited to join us on the waterfront for a day of enchantment on Sunday, July 17th from 11am to 4pm.

Dress in your finest Fairy and Pirate Costumes or come as you are!

The Pirate Ships Must Roos & British Sloop will be setting sail with cannons and flintlocks from Bucksport Town Dock. Six passengers max per ship. Times are throughout the day with a charge of $25 per person for an hour cruise and cannon firing with the pirates! Advance ticket purchase is recommended, please call Friends of Fort Knox 207/469-6553 for more information about the pirate ships.

Attendees can also visit Pixie Harbor Hoopla's “Gnome Depot,” a one-stop-shop for bark, leaves, shells and other natural materials perfect for building fairy houses. Then display your creation for the day on the Bucksport Waterfront. It is said that fairy spirits reside among the trees, flowers, plants, and creatures that live in gardens. The act of building a fairy house is believed to bring good luck as well as help the plants and flowers to grow.

Other activities include learning sword fighting skills at a fencing demonstration by Down East School of Fencing, launch water balloons with the Challenger Learning Center’s giant catapult, bubble fountain fun, and shop in the vendors’ village for your next adventure!
