Just after the sun set beyond the horizon, pirates landed at Siesta Beach for the annual Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce Sandfest fundraiser.Â
The pirate-themed party kicked of festivities by greeting guests with eye patches to join in on the fun. Music, libations and food awaited swashbucklers to party late into the night.Â
