Brigantine, historically known as a hotspot for pirates and privateers in the 18th century, continues to attract swashbucklers of all kinds. This year’s Brigantine’s Night in Venice is themed “The Pirates of Brigantine” and is set to be an unforgettable event.
Scheduled for Aug. 17, 2024, this annual boat parade celebrates Brigantine’s storied past, which includes legends such as Captain Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, who is rumored to have buried his treasure among the dunes of Brigantine Beach.
First held in 2021, Brigantine’s Night in Venice draws inspiration from Ocean City’s popular event. Previous themes have included “Honoring Our Heroes” to recognize frontline workers during the pandemic, “A Salute to Our Forces,” and last year’s “Light It Up.” Organized by the Facebook group Real Brigantine, the event has consistently garnered enthusiastic participation from the community, with elaborately decorated boats and bayfront homes.
So, ahoy mateys! Start planning your pirate weekend and join us for Brigantine’s Annual Night in Venice.This year’s festivities promise to be a spectacular celebration of Brigantine’s pirate heritage. Shiver me timbers!
