Pirates Week

Pirates Week is Cayman’s national festival and is held each November in George Town and throughout the islands with street parties, fireworks, and parades — bring your pirate suit! It commemorates the heritage of the Cayman Islands and reminds us of the relationship many islands had with pirates all those years ago when this part of the world was the ‘Spanish Main’. Many Caribbean islands had similar experiences, Cayman has made it a festival

The festival is a lot of fun for would-be pirates of all ages, with lots of dressing-up and roistering in taverns (for the adults).Having the Pirates of the Caribbean movies showing on screens around the world gives this festival a nice boost.

Batabano

Cayman’s other national festival is Batabano and it’s celebrated in May. This Mardi Gras style event is a two day affair (one week apart) — one day for the kids and one for the adults. This being the Cayman Islands, however, things don’t get out of hand, even at the adults festival.

Like Pirates Week, the principal focus is on dressing up or maybe that should be dressing lightly. This is your Brazilian-type event with lots of costumes to please the eye. Music too is an important part of these events, with a lot of live carnival, soca and calypso bands.

Of course there’s also lots of Caribbean and Cayman food from concession stands around George Town.

Inner Space and TEK

Inner Space is billed as the world’s largest Rebreather diving event. It lasts one week from late May to early June. If you’re a diver, or want to become one, this is an event for you.

TEK Demo Days in Cayman precedes Inner Space and is an event for divers who are looking to check out the newest diving equipment. This is for serious divers.

TEK Week, in early September, is also all about diving, this is one of the diving ‘capitals’ of the world, after all. TEK welcomes beginners as well as seasoned divers, with visits to the ex-USS Kittiwake (a new wreck sunk for the pleasure of divers) and regular famous dive sites.

Kid’s Sea Camp

This is an event for families that want to dive together. It’s good for kids aged 5 to 16 years, select the package that’s right for your family.
