It has been rumored that John Laffite, the famous privateer, had buried some treasure somewhere in Cedar Key.
He is coming back to town under cover of darkness, with pirates from all over Florida and
Georgia and a small armada of ships.
A contingent from the St. Augustine Garrison has been sent to Cedar Key to help protect
the townsfolk and try to keep some semblance of order.
It is rumored that the pirates will be setting up camp in the city park and taking over Dock
street until the treasure is found.
Come, celebrate with the pirates. See how they lived on land when ashore. Learn from some
of the finest re enactors on the East Coast. Are you smarter than the infamous privateer
John Laffite? Can you find his treasure before the pirates can?
Watch and listen as the pirates set up an outpost in the city park, complete with trade and
commerce. Come and purchase wares and clothing from foreign lands. Listen to rousing, toe
tapping sea shanties.
What’s happening all weekend at the invasion...

2.The Historical Encampment is open during the Festival. Go talk to historic actors, learn
