Talk Like a Pirate Day 2026 – Event Details
September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a worldwide celebration of nautical nonsense, rum‑soaked revelry, and swashbuckling silliness.
This year, Exotic Tiki Island brings you the ultimate pirate experience — complete with a special online ETI Radio broadcast, pirate mocktails, themed food, music playlists, and a full guide to talking like a true buccaneer.
What Is Talk Like a Pirate Day?
Talk Like a Pirate Day began in 1995 when two friends — John “Ol’ Chumbucket” Baur and Mark “Cap’n Slappy” Summers — jokingly shouted pirate phrases during a racquetball game.
The idea spread, newspapers picked it up, and today it’s celebrated globally.
