The West Coast Mutineers are the featured performance group.
They are a crew of specialized actors, actresses and re-enactors who design and rehearse their stunts for months before the show. They specialize in recreating an actual scene such as something one may have seen in The Golden Age of Piracy. They bring period style encampments, authentic costuming and choreographed fight circles to the show each year. This year promises to be the “best year ever”! During the Fight Circles, and while taking a break from their vigorous routine, patrons can visit these talented performers at the West Coast Mutineers Encampment on the North End of Village Boulevard. Two entertainment stages this year will be at the Bamboo cul-de-sac and in the main parking lot & Food Court. The Saturday show ends at dusk with a spectacular Fire Show performed by Bohemian Fire. Bohemian Fire is a unique group of Poi Fire Performers who provide a high quality routine, specializing in Fire with all measures of fiery tools including fans, Hula Hoops, swords, ropes, and whips, as well as Fire eating and Fire Breathing. Onlookers are invited to be amazed at dusk on Saturday at the West Coast Mutineers Encampment. On Sunday, the show will close with a traditional Pub Sing at 5 pm on the Main Stage near the Shuttle stop. The Pub sing brings together all of the entertainers who have performed throughout the weekend, so fans can hear them one last time until the following year. |

toasts and bits of history and every sea shanty, rebel tune and drinking song they can put their instruments and voices to.
