Downtown Leesburg Hosts Successful Pirate Pub Crawl
This past Saturday night, downtown Leesburg transformed into a swashbuckling paradise as over 100 participants donned their best pirate and wench attire for the highly anticipated Pirate Pub Crawl. The event, organized by Downtown Leesburg Events, showcased the vibrant summer nightlife in the city center and aimed to support local businesses.
(McCraken’s Irish Pub in Leesburg is always a popular spot.)
Each month, the participating downtown business partners come together to sponsor these themed pub crawls. This particular crawl had over 100 people who participated. These are always fun and people seem to have a great time.
(Everyone was having a great time!)
For those who missed out on this month’s festivities, there’s still one more chance to join the fun. Another exciting event is scheduled for October 26th. Participants can stay updated and find more information by visiting the Downtown Leesburg Events page on Facebook.
Be sure to come out and support local business.
