When does The Gathering 2024 start and finish?

As a seasoned attendee of The Gathering, I can confidently say that this event is more than just a convention – it’s a homecoming for Outlander fans worldwide! Over the years, I’ve learned to embrace the spontaneous nature of Sasnak City events, and the flexible scheduling only adds to the adventure.


Have you made your preparations for The Gathering 2024? Your travel arrangements – flights and accommodation – are all set. What I’m wondering is, could you use some information regarding the schedule on that day?

At Sasnak City, we typically don’t finalize the event schedule months ahead like many other conventions do, due to the fact that changes can occur quite rapidly. Nevertheless, the starting and ending times tend to remain consistent.

Thursday night is all about the attendees

If you can’t make it for Thursday’s events at The Gathering 2024, don’t stress over it. It’s primarily an opportunity for attendees, with no scheduled panels or guest appearances. You’ll be able to pick up your registration packet and meet fellow participants instead.

To receive the specific timings for the Thursday evening event, please make sure to join the “Sasnak City Attendee Group” on Facebook. Each tier has its designated time slots for picking up registration packets, which will facilitate the overall process more efficiently.

Registration can be done the next day, though! This is all communicated in the group.

Friday has different start times for different tiers

For Fraser’s Ridge or Lallybroch tier ticket holders, mark your calendar for Friday during the day. That’s when photo and autograph sessions will take place. Over time, we’ve found that spreading these events across three days makes lines more manageable. However, if you choose to attend on another day, keep in mind that you may not be able to skip ahead in line.

Keep an eye on our Facebook group as we’ll share the specific times closer to the event. Don’t forget to stay tuned!

For everyone else, Friday is all about the opening panel, which is usually around 3 p.m. pr 4 p.m. local time. Again, it will all be announced in the group. You can get there a little earlier if you need to pick up your registration packets and to check out all the great vendors.

From here on out, I’m thrilled to let you know that the itinerary for the remainder of this exciting event will be revealed each evening. This means you’ll stay updated about the time I should be there and a rough estimate of when the night’s festivities are set to wrap up!

The Gathering 2024 ends Sunday afternoon

As formally announced, The Gathering 2024 concludes around 4 p.m., local time. However, it’s common for attendees to continue socializing well past that point. Rest assured, you’re more than welcome to join others for dinner. Friendships formed during the event often lead to exploring restaurants or going out for drinks together after the event ends.

As a gamer, I always advise against leaving immediately post-event, unless you reside in another state and can easily drive home. In my case, I often find myself dealing with overnight layovers, hence the reason I prefer to stay until Monday.

The Gathering 2024 runs between Thursday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 17.
