Alexandria Bay is proud of its renegade patriot Bill Johnston who blew up a British steamer and hid out in the 1000 Islands after the Patriots War.
Enjoy this 10-day celebration featuring a pirate ship attack of the village from the St. Lawrence River. The sword-fighting group, known as the ‘Tales from Remikreh,’ will be performing throughout the Village streets and at various Route 12 locations. Be sure to stop by and visit the Entertainment tent for a list of activities planned for that day.
This is one swashbuckling festival not to miss!
