Skopelos Restaurant might give you just a hint of the Greek population in Pensacola…but Greek or not, everyone turns out for the Greek Festival, November 11-13.

It’s easy to see that
Pensacola is “back” and the Pensacola hospitality
as warm as ever. Life on the western end of Northwest
Florida is finally bustling again and yes, there’s
a lot going on…but if you’d rather do nothing
at all and simply lie all day long on the beach…go
right ahead…in fact,...
The Blue Angels make their own kind of music as they take to the air in November for their final show of the season. With Pensacola as its home base, the Navy’s precision flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels, is proud to perform on November 11th and 12th. The admission is free and the show is spectacular…check out their website at www.blueangels.navy.mil.
November 18th provides another evening of arts and culture sponsored by the Arts Council of Northwest Florida. Downtown art galleries stay open late for this quarterly event as trolleys stop all along the way. The transportation is free and the admission is free…the art on the other hand may cost a penny or two?
The Winterfest Trolley Tours begin most weekends, Nov. 25-Dec. 17. Trolleys act as theaters taking passengers to a series of interactive performances at twenty-two locations along a two-mile route in Historic Downtown Pensacola. Dozens of local businesses and residents bring to life favorite scenes from holiday movies, characters, and songs. Reservations are strongly encouraged…please call 850.435.0914 or visit www.pensacolawinterfest.org.

fact, the beach lifestyle is highly encouraged in this part of
the world. It’s always been paradise in Pensacola…just
a small hiccup called “Ivan,” and now its citizens
and businessmen and women want the world to know they made it through
the storm…and they’re back…and it’s better
than ever!
