考帕克利士替市(Corpus
Christi)的海盜日
地方性遺產
每年，危險的海盜都會佔領德州的考帕克利士替市！
但這些海盜是該市僱來慶祝海盜日的；海盜日是考帕克利士替市夏日海灘季節的前幾日。海盜(Buccaneers)就是海上的強盜，1600年代時，他們會航行於海灣並攻擊西班牙船隻、商船及掠奪海灣附近的殖民地。現在，海盜會駛向陸地、捉住市長、逼迫他走到甲板上並宣佈海盜日正式開始！
舉辦60年有餘的海盜日會吸引120萬人前來參加它連續24天的慶祝活動。而馬術競賽會、競賽、騎馬及遊戲博覽會所募得的基金將會應用在獎學金及其他的市民計劃上。除此之外，國立管絃樂團音樂節則有6,000多名孩童共襄盛舉。
Every year the city of Corpus Christi, Texas, is captured by dangerous pirates!
But these pirates are actually hired by the city to help celebrate Buccaneer Days -- the opening days of the summer beach season in Corpus Christi. Buccaneers are pirates who used to sail in the Gulf and attack Spanish ships, other merchants and settlements in the area during the 1600s. Today, the Buccaneers sail in, capture the mayor and force him to walk the plank as he announces the arrival of Buccaneer Days!
Held for over 60 years, Buccaneer Days now draws more than 1.2 million people to its 24-day celebration. Fun-filled days of rodeos, races, rides, and carnival games help raise funds to finance scholarships and many other civic programs. In addition, a national orchestral music festival brings the participation of more than 6,000 children.
