Pirates, pooches and pyrotechnics as festival comes to a close

The final weekend of Pirates Fest brought the trial of the pirates, an underwater treasure hunt, a pooch parade, street parties and fireworks.

While chaotic traffic jams were also a feature of the festival this year, there was still plenty of fun to be had in downtown George Town.

Here are some of the scenes from the weekend’s celebrations, the culmination of the new-look three-month event.
