The Bilge Pumps will be returning to that most local of faire grounds in 2026 as we commute just down the river a bit to the Scarborough's Hollow Festival!

We'll be keeping it spookily funny in this Fall-themed event taking place on Saturdays only from Sept 26-Oct 31.

We'll be performing only the FIRST FOUR Saturdays of the festival and we fully expect a ruckus from those pirate and Halloween loving people in D/FW. We know there is quite a lot of crossover between those two categories.

We will be on a different stage each Saturday of the festival so check our schedule posted here and your program at the event for when/where to see us when you come visit.

Don't forget to smuggle your rum in your pumpkins!

The Bilge Pumps will be returning to the land of the red earth for our fifth appearance at the Oklahoma Renaissance & Scottish Festival.

The festival takes place at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. Specifically, it will be on the NE corner of the grounds on the corner of May Ave and 10th St.

There'll be more entertainment than you can shake your rigging at, including a large dash of piracy.

The OKC Highland Games (an International Highland Games Federation sanctioned event) will also take place at the festival.

Come join us in starting the holiday season with a bang.

After a five year absence from the festival, the Bilge Pumps will heed that call all the way down hwy 49 into cajun country for year number 21 at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival.

We'll be there for only one weekend of the festival, but it will be PIRATES WEEKEND!

We'll be at the Celtic Green stage, where the court holds... uh... court. It will be right on the lakeside, so if the music makes you nauseous, you can feed the lake monster like a momma bird.

We look forward to reconnecting with our Looisiana friends and fans.

We're back for the 53rd year of Dickens on the Strand, the festival that celebrates the world of Christmas under Queen Victoria with lots of unicycles, scrooges, bobbies, pirates, and strangely, a lot of horse poop. Those last two are in no way related.

We'll be rolling our land schooners back to the island for our 22nd appearance at the festival. We will be spreading the holiday joy to all, pirate style, with our oh-so-beautiful pirate Christmas carols combined with our usual dose of nautical nonsense guaranteed to put wind in your sails.

As usual, we'll be traveling all around the festival putting on shows on multiple stages, so check our schedule here and on the festival programs to see where and when we'll be.

The Friday night Fezziwig party will be happening again this year and we'll be there to help the Queen kick off her slippers and get her pirate on!

Admission is free to this Friday night event and it will run from 5:00 to 9:00 with us Bilge Pumps wrapping up the evening starting our set around 8:00.

The Bilge Pumps will be invading the crown jewel of the Faire of Champions this winter, as we perform at the Black Flag Feast!

This pinnacle of pirate's weekend is the place to be with tons of food and entertainment to help you wind down a day at faire.

It's an outdoor event in January and that means you get to wear your layers! That pirate coat and cloak you bought all those years ago that you never get to wear because of the Texas heat? Now it's their time to shine.

The event will run from 7:30 to 10:30 and us Bilge Pumps will start our show around 8:30. Just try and keep your food down one we get started.
