The pirate folklore that many Caribbean countries boast of is not hidden from the world. However, when it comes to celebrating the legends and to displaying an eclectic mix of their cultural heritage, the Cayman Islands takes a clear lead. Well, the 2019 edition of the Pirates Week Festival has been going on for a week now, where the festivities started on November 1 from Cayman Brac and will wind up on November 17 in Little Cayman. A good five days from November 7 to 11 falls in the bucket of Cayman Islands and it goes without saying, they make the most of it!
