This is one of the largest reenactments in Florida and takes place on the actual site where the Battle of Ocean Pond (Olustee) was fought. There are miles of sutlers on sutler row. Anything you need for reenacting can be found here. Get here early. The crowds get big fast and sign-in and parking can be a hassle. Last year the weather was
perfect but be prepared for cold and rain. Directions: Take I-75 to Hwy. 90 exit.

The Natural Bridge Event is held at the Natural Bridge State Historic Site which is located six miles east of Woodville. Registration open at 1pm Friday. No early arrivals. Due to the size of the site, we cannot allow any mounted troops. Artillery is by invitation. Directions: The best way to find the site is to take I-10 to Tallahassee, exit onto US 27 (North Monroe Street-Exit 29) where you will travel south of US 27 (Monroe Street) until you reach the Florida Capitol. At this junction, US 27 will turn to the left. Do not continue on US 27, simply continue to travel south on Monroe Street. A few miles south of town, Monroe Street becomes Woodville Highway.
