The Pirates of the High Seas & Renaissance Fest is setting sail from October 11-13, 2024!
The annual event celebrates the legacy of the pirates who once roamed the Gulf of Mexico and pillaged the Emerald Coast, telling the tale of Dominique Youx and his krewe of loyal buccaneers through staged pirate battles and storytelling.
Enjoy action-packed weekend of fireworks, live mermaid shows, a fire circus, parades, a treasure drop, and Cirque Adventure capping off our evenings each night. Travel back in time with our Renaissance addition, where gentry and squires alike can experience an enchanted marketplace complete with sword and whip demonstrations, pirates pub, live entertainment & more!
Pirate-fans can enjoy online and in-person activities, including a digital pirate costume contest, an in-person and online treasure hunt, parades, live music fireworks, Renaissance vendors and activities, and more in Panama City Beach.
