More importantly Fell’s Point Privateer Day promises to be as exciting as a Privateer’s job. There’s a large variety of entertainment certain to please anyone in attendance, including: musical performances, live battles and magic. Additionally Privateer Day boasts ship tours, sailing, vendors and art.
