Gather your crew, polish your spyglass, and ready your wits—because a pirate adventure like no other is dropping anchor at Oakenmist Faire on Saturday August 16th only!

The Howard County Pirate Adventures is setting sail, and young adventurers are invited to join the hunt! Your mission: follow a treasure map, uncover hidden clues, crack codes, and outsmart the scallywags to discover a secret treasure chest filled with loot and lasting memories.  

This interactive scavenger hunt is perfect for families and young pirates of all ranks:

• Little Mates (ages 3–7) get clues tailored to tiny treasure seekers.

• Deckhands & Sail-Trimmers (ages 8+) will face a more daring challenge with codes to crack and puzzles to solve.

Whether your young buccaneers are new to the high seas or seasoned scavengers, they’ll use teamwork, critical thinking, and a touch of pirate cunning to complete the quest.

No need to register in advance—just show up ready for adventure! Maps and instructions will be available at the Pirate Outpost inside the faire entrance.

So don your best tricorn hat, keep an eye out for X’s that mark the spot, and prepare for a swashbuckling Saturday of fun!

Yo ho, yo ho, a questin’ we shall go!
