They welcome all pirates, so come ashore dressed in your best pirantical pirattitude and enjoy a weekend of fun.
This year's event Gathering site will move from the Fountain of Youth this year to be more accessible to the general public.There will only be period correct camping available at the Pirate Gathering and there will be two encampments one in the Spanish Quarter for authentic camping and the main location at Francis Field...just west of the city parking facility. These locations are closer to the old town and will work great for the battles and parade.
