The Pirates Are Coming
The 16th Annual Pirate’s Day Is Back
The Downtown Milford Business Association is kicking off summer once again with the 16th Annual Pirate’s Day on Sunday, June 10. Pirate’s Day has served as an unofficial start to the season for years, and now it’s even more family-friendly than ever.
"The DMBA is proud to host this event, which is fun for both kids and parents,” said Tracy Bonosconi, DMBA President. “There’s nothing like feeling connected to where you live, and with so many young families in Milford, we’re happy to make downtown a place for everyone.”
Run by a team of volunteers, Pirate Day offers up adventure, treasure, and imagination. The day begins with a character pancake breakfast right on the harbor, and the appearance of Captain Kidd (WQUN’s Brian Smith) as he arrives aboard the “Oz” in Milford Harbor. This year’s event has expanded with live music from Rum & Steel and Rockin’ Ron The Friendly Pirate, food trucks, vendors, activities, and of course the signature treasure hunt.
With its coastal appeal, downtown Milford is a natural fit for a pirate-themed day. Located right on the harbor, the historic downtown is a destination long known by locals and surrounding communities for its New England charm and easy access to area beaches. In recent years, Milford has enjoyed a resurgence of new shops, salons, and restaurants along with established local favorites, making it a destination that’s growing in popularity with each season.
