“We wanted to create an early spring live-music event that replicates the fun and excitement that October’s Buccaneer Days event has long brought into Two Harbors,” said Randall Herrel, CEO of the Island Company.
The party kicked off Friday evening at the Harbor Reef Saloon with a DJ and drinks, followed by a live band performance until 11 p.m. Saturday’s events included a castaway costume contest, raft-building contest, treasure hunts and much more.
Visitors are encouraged to visit the Recreation Center at Two Harbors to rent gear and enjoy Catalina Island’s incredible hiking, trail running, sea kayaking, snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, fishing and more.
As the sun began to set, a live band retook the stage and a DJ spun tunes between sets. On Sunday morning, the West End Galley served breakfast.
Boat moorings were available based on a first-come, first-served basis. Cross-channel transportation was provided by the Catalina Express and the Catalina Flyer.
