 Patch and Pickle
This playful little guy brings smiles to the faces of everyone he meets. Patch has traveled the world in search of a home (you should see his passport!). Well, the wind brought him to Chicago where he came across Navy Pier's own pirates, "The Buccaneers." A beautiful friendship quickly formed and they adopted Patch as part of the crew and even dressed him up to look the part. You'll typically find him out for a walk along the Pier or with his best friend Pickle in his very own show. Come down to the Family Pavilion for an interactive show for children and adults alike.

 Pirateville Pranksters
These buccaneers have stormed the Dock Street and renamed it Pirateville. Be careful not to get hit by their water pistols- they are fun loving trouble makers who like to throw marshmallows! It is easy to see and hear them coming down Dock Street on their four wheel cart of tomfoolery. Don't let them get too far out of sight or you may miss them juggle, joke or flip. You just never know what they will do next!
You can catch the Pirateville Pranksters during the summer months strolling down Dock Street.
