Talk Like a Pirate Day Ideas:
Arrrggghhh!
Pirate dress up
If you already have a costume, great, but if you don’t, you can use your imagination to create a pirate-type outfit or grab one online and have it delivered to your door. Easy items include capri pants, a loose white top or shirt with frills, a wide belt, boots, and a bandana. If you want to add accessories, then include anything with skulls or skeletons, hoop jewelry, plastic swords, a stuffed parrot, and an eye patch.
Pirate mealtime
Pirates aren’t worried about etiquette or fancy foods, so finger foods work best. The messier, the better! Ditch the silverware for a night and have a little fun. Roast some chicken legs and corn, large hunks of bread, and your beverage of choice. Set the table with mismatch dishware, dim the lights or use candles, play some pirate-worthy music, and let the feast begin!
Check out fun pirate promotions on our Facebook page. They will be shared throughout the day on Talk Like a Pirate Day!
One day per year, restaurants around the country celebrate National Talk Like a Pirate Day with fun promotions.
Long John Silver’s hasn’t published their promotion yet, but they are a fun place to go if you want a pirate-themed meal. You might even be able to score one of those cool paper pirate hats and try out new menu items.
