The notorious pirate Black Caesar, who once sailed Florida's coastal waters in the early 19th century will make a comeback Oct. 17th-19th for the Key Largo Pirate Festival.

The festivities are to start Friday October 17th with music and a rum tasting at 6 P.M. at Cafe Largo Bayside Grille, mile marker 99.6 bayside - about 20 miles from the place where Black Caesar is thought to have maintained a harem and buried treasure worth millions.

Following the rum and revelry, a walk-the-plank contest is set for 6:30 P.M., with a pirate parade and costume contest scheduled at 8:30 P.M. Contestants will vie for the title of Black Caesar, with the winner assuming his throne.

On Saturday, Oct. 18, there will be a Pirate Bazaar and Thieves' Market starting at noon at the Caribbean Club, Big Chill, Sundowners, Cactus Jacks Senor Frijoles. Look for Pirate paraphernalia, memorabilia and art.

A concert on the water on Blackwater Sound commences at 2 P.M. off Amoray Dive Resort, Sundowners, the Big Chill and Caribbean Club.

A wide variety of Pirate tee shirts are available at the Amoray Gift Shop. For more festival information, visit www.amoray.com or call 1-800-4-AMORAY (426-6729)
