Red, White & Beach Bash: Pensacola Beach Fourth of July Fireworks
Get ready for one of the Gulf Coast’s most spectacular Independence Day celebrations as Pensacola Beach lights up the sky for America’s 250th birthday. Celebrate America’s 250th birthday on Pensacola Beach at the Red, White & Beach Bash on Saturday, July 4. The evening begins at Gulfside Pavilion with DJ Salty from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by the Pensacola Civic Band from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Family-friendly activities will include face painting, a cotton candy stand, a stilt walker and more.
The celebration concludes with the Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks display over the Santa Rosa Sound at 9 p.m. along the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk. The Beach Chamber fireworks and the Downtown Pensacola fireworks show combine each year for a spectacular dual Independence Day celebration. Both displays will be simulcast live on Cat Country 98.7 FM beginning at 9 p.m. with the National Anthem, followed by patriotic music synchronized to both shows.
“We’re excited to welcome families and visitors to Gulfside Pavilion for an evening of live music, entertainment and family-friendly activities before gathering along the Boardwalk to enjoy one of the Gulf Coast’s most spectacular Fourth of July fireworks displays,” said Jessica Simpson, president and CEO of the Beach Chamber.
