Discover the art and culture of Pensacola
Pensacola is ‘The Artful Way to Beach.’
There is a vibrant arts and culture scene right here – enabling visitors to take in a musical performance, graceful dance, live music or view priceless art.
Pensacola is the only destination between Mobile and Jacksonville that is home to the “big five” in Northwest Florida.
Locals and travelers alike have access to the Pensacola Opera, Ballet Pensacola, the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, the Saenger Theatre and the Pensacola Museum of Art.
Institutions like First City Arts Center, the Pensacola Little Theatre (established in 1936) and Vinyl Music Hall also offer year-round events and performances.
Pensacola is also home to the Foo Foo Festival – an annual 12-day arts and culture happening, highlighting the destination’s unique arts and cultural heritage. This year’s events will celebrate the festival’s 10-year anniversary and will take place November 2-13, 2023.
Anchor events include the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival, Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, Big Green Egg Fest, and the Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow on Veteran’s Day weekend.
Local artists are also celebrated in the community tradition of Gallery Night. Each month, downtown Palafox Street is closed to cars for the free event dedicated to taking art to the streets featuring artists, music, food and vendors.
Visitors hoping to take a piece of local art with them can head to the Blue Morning Gallery which houses an eclectic collection showcasing over 60 Pensacola artists’ works including photography, sculpture, glass, beadwork, wood, tile and more.
