You Can Have A Swashbuckling Good Time In Shreveport This Weekend

Make plans now to attend the 'Cannon Ball' rum fest and pirate show on Saturday at the Shreveport Aquarium.

The fun begins at 7 pm and will conclude at 11 pm. Please keep in mind this is an adult-themed party and only those 21 and over will be admitted. Here is what the Shreveport Aquarium had to say about this great event:

Join Captain Nicolas Graybeard the Loud and his bawdy pirate crew for an evening of drink-a-longs, sing-a-longs, swashbuckling performances, games, costumes contests and more! Wear yer finest pirate garb and accoutrements!

All participants will be grouped together to compete in the games that will be featured that night. There will also be some pirate-inspired food. From grog to the specialty shots and cocktails will be available for purchase. Everyone attending this event will be sure to have a great time.

Tickets for this weekend of pirate fun are only $25 and include a small tour of the aquarium before the festivities kick off at 7 PM. The party will take place in the new courtyard that has some awesome river views.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
