Searle’s Sack of St. Augustine

This is a great opportunity to relive history in St Augustine when the Historic Florida Militia re-enacts the Sack of St. Augustine. The sack happened back in the year of 1668 in the nation’s oldest city. Captain Robert Searle and his privateers left Jamaica and set course for St Augustine to loot the silver ingots held in the royal coffers at St. Augustine.

 During the day there will be a 17th century-style military encampment at the Fountain of Youth Park where there will drills, demonstrations and living history interpretations from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Starting at 5 p.m. there will be an exciting reenactment of the sacking and burning of the town. Beginning at the Plaza de la Constitucion and ending at the Old City Gates, this skirmish travels over 6 city-blocks with gunfire, sword fighting as townspeople, garrison soldiers, Native Americans, and buccaneers fight through the streets.
