Organiser Roger Crouch said: “A few sponsors unfortunately pulled out this year with the assumption “it will always happen anyway”. As always the organiser picks up the shortfall.
“But I firmly believe in Hastings Pirate Day and wholeheartedly thank those who supported the event financially.
“As long as I am involved, it will be a spectacle for all ages. If you are six months old in a buggy with a striped t-shirt and a drawn on moustache, or a full-blown adult buccaneer - you are a pirate.
