If you always thought you might’ve made a good pirate, taking to the high seas during the golden age of swashbuckling sailors, you can live out those dreams — at least in the modern era — with a visit to Panama City Beach’s Pirates of the High Seas & Renaissance Fest.

Taking place over three days, Oct. 11–13, the annual event is free and welcoming to all ages. The fest celebrates the area’s pirate-centric past and stories from centuries ago, and activities include live entertainment, knight fighting tournaments, fireworks, parades, an enchanted marketplace and more.

 

The fun kicks off Oct. 11 at 8 a.m. with a private breakfast experience, before gates to the greater festival open at 4 p.m., with entertainment found across multiple stages and continuing on for the next two days.
