After a five year absence from the festival, the Bilge Pumps will heed that call all the way down hwy 49 into cajun country for year number 21 at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival.

We'll be there for only one weekend of the festival, but it will be PIRATES WEEKEND!

We'll be back at the Pair o' Docks stage bringing all new fun (same band) to an all new stage (same stage) in an all new location (we don't know where anything is at the festival any more).

We look forward to reconnecting with our Looisiana friends and fans.

We're back for the 53rd year of Dickens on the Strand, the festival that celebrates the world of Christmas under Queen Victoria with lots of unicycles, scrooges, bobbies, pirates, and strangely, a lot of horse poop. Those last two are in no way related.

We'll be rolling our land schooners back to the island for our 22nd appearance at the festival. We will be spreading the holiday joy to all, pirate style, with our oh-so-beautiful pirate Christmas carols combined with our usual dose of nautical nonsense guaranteed to put wind in your sails.

As usual, we'll be traveling all around the festival putting on shows on multiple stages, so check our schedule here and on the festival programs to see where and when we'll be.

The Friday night Fezziwig party will be happening again this year and we'll be there to help the Queen kick off her slippers and get her pirate on!

Admission is free to this Friday night event and it will run from 5:00 to 9:00 with us Bilge Pumps wrapping up the evening starting our set around 8:00.

The Bilge Pumps will be invading the crown jewel of the Faire of Champions this winter, as we perform at the Black Flag Feast!

This pinnacle of pirate's weekend is the place to be with tons of food and entertainment to help you wind down a day at faire.

It's an outdoor event in January and that means you get to wear your layers! That pirate coat and cloak you bought all those years ago that you never get to wear because of the Texas heat? Now it's their time to shine.

The event will run from 7:30 to 10:30 and us Bilge Pumps will start our show around 8:30. Just try and keep your food down one we get started.
