1999 Calendar of Events Overview
 Great festivals and events are held virtually every weekend celebrating everything from seafood, sausage and barbecue to art, music and heritage. Springfest in the spring is a festival full of music and fun. The Fiesta of Five Flags celebrates the founding of Pensacola. And the annual Fourth of July musical celebration and fireworks display are always fantastic! Also in July the Blue Angels perform over Pensacola Beach and again in November at their homecoming show held at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. We kick off the fall with the Pensacola Seafood Festival, in September, featuring savory seafood, live entertainment, children's games, and arts and crafts. And in October, with the Pensacola Interstate Fair, 10 days of fantastic shows, food, games, rides and fun! The first weekend of November is the time for the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival, a picture-perfect weekend of art, music, food and fun. Plus, this year Pensacola is celebrating its 300th Anniversary and you are assured a year full of activities and an incredible cumulative celebration in November with parades, fireworks and fun!
