Welcome Back the Blue Angels!

They’re back! We missed seeing the Blue Angels soar through our skies as they practiced at their home base at NAS Pensacola last year. But, good news. They are back and so is the summer airshow!

If you have recently purchased real estate in Pensacola or will be on vacation in Perdido Key or nearby Navarre Beach, make sure you are able to see the skies of Pensacola Beach on Saturday. The Blue Angels will take to the skies over the beach in what is sure to be one of the best shows you have ever seen. The Blue Angels are the Navy’s aerial demonstration team and they perform some of the best stunts and formations in the business.

The air show will begin at noon on Saturday. The Blue Angels will fly over Pensacola Beach at 2PM, although the airshow beginning at noon that day will feature demonstrations by other wonderful air teams. Come early to stake your spot in the sand for this popular show. Can’t make the show on Saturday? Head out for a day at the beach on Thursday or Friday to watch rehearsals!

Fireworks in Downtown Pensacola

If you want to catch the biggest fireworks show on the Gulf Coast there is just one place you need to be – downtown Pensacola! Be sure to grab a spot for the Sertoma Fourth of July Celebration in Old Seville, located just a short drive from Pensacola Beach vacation and Perdido Key!

Sertoma organizations have been putting on the Gulf Coast’s largest fireworks display for 25 years and this year should be spectacular. Make your way to Seville Square for a fabulous day of activities beginning at 11am.

The kids will adore the free activities set up just for them, which includes inflatables and available pony rides. Adults will enjoy shopping the arts and crafts booths, visiting the food vendors and swaying to the sounds of the live entertainment before the patriotic sky show begins.

The fireworks will begin at 9PM and will be synchronized with music broadcast from Cat Country 98.7. The fireworks will rise high above the Pensacola Bay, so stake out your place along the shore and in Seville Square to catch a view. We hope to see you in downtown Pensacola for the fireworks and that you have a Happy Fourth!

If you will be venturing out of your new home on the Gulf Coast to hit the beach, or happen to be on vacation in Pensacola Beach, don’t fight the crowds for parking. Simply take the Pensacola Beach trolley!

The beaches are heating up which means they are also becoming a bit more crowded. While you will find plenty of space for all along the sand, the same cannot always be said for parking at the public beaches. Stop circling the lot!

The Pensacola Beach Trolley follows an eastbound and westbound route along Via De Luna Drive, the main drag of Pensacola Beach. Park your vehicle in any available public parking lot, or walk to a stop from your Pensacola Beach vacation rental, and hop on board to catch a ride to the beach!

The trolley offers a number of stops, including the front gate of Fort Pickens as well as the Gulfside Pavilion at Casino Beach. For additional information on stop locations swing into the Pensacola Beach Visitor’s center and pick up a trolley map. Scan the QR code on the map to activate the Trolley Tracker, a convenient way to locate this service during your trip to Pensacola Beach.
