Pensacola is known as Festival City of the South a name that comes straight from the good-time vibe you’ll find here 365-days a year.
In that spirit, there’s even an ‘only in Pensacola’ cocktail, the Bushwacker. Think milkshake with a kick for adults-only and best enjoyed with a long, hot day and a perfect beach!
If you want a carnival, visit in February and catch beads and brilliant vibes at one of America’s original Mardi Gras celebrations. There are Bands on the Beach from April to October every year. The Foo Foo Festival is end-to-end Pensacola culture for 14 days and nights in November. And September is the month for the annual Seafood Festival .
Although missing out on the Seafood Festival doesn’t deprive you of fabulous food. Downtown Pensacola delivers on everything from cute food trucks to fine dining. Sea views on the side are a big draw at fantastic beachfront restaurants. And toes-in-the-sand beach bars rustle up southern seafood like you’ve never tasted.
