Have you seen the large black sailing vessels along the Lake Charles waterfront? Replicas of Christopher Columbus' ships, the Nina and Pinta, have docked in front of the Civic Center and will be here through May 8th, just in time for our annual Pirate Festival (Contraband Days). These boats are called "caravels." On board, learn about Columbus' voyages and about the ships themselves. The crew members are knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Worth a trip – if you enjoy American or nautical history. Learn more here.

You have a pirate festival? Cool! Now I will be humming the theme of "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the rest of the day!
Yes, CHM, pirates are big around here because infamous pirate Jean LaFitte spent a lot of time in Louisiana, burying his treasure along our rivers and bayous.
And besides, we have festivals for just about everything. Why not pirates.
