The Pyrates Parlay is special evening filled with festivities and Pirates! The evening will be filled with pirates, live music, casino games, bar, dinner, dancing, a fashion show, a cigar lounge, take-home souvenirs, and even more surprises. The event is being held at the beautiful Sea Trail Resort Center, Sunset Beach on Saturday, March 29th from 5-9pm. Come dressed in your best or as a pirate. Tickets are only $150 per person.
