Red, White & Beach Bash: Pensacola Beach Fourth of July Fireworks
Get ready to wave the red, white and blue on Pensacola Beach as the island celebrates America’s 250th birthday with a two-day Red, White & Beach Bash.
The celebration kicks off Friday, July 3, with a special Bands on the Beach encore concert featuring Stormfolk at Gulfside Pavilion. The Maker’s Market opens at 5 p.m., giving guests the perfect chance to shop local, enjoy the beach breeze and ease into the holiday weekend before Stormfolk takes the stage at 7 p.m. It’s the perfect stars-and-stripes prelude to a full day of Independence Day fun on Saturday.
The Red, White & Beach Bash continues Saturday, July 4, with an evening of patriotic entertainment at Gulfside Pavilion. DJ Salty will perform 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 Pensacola Beach for a red, white and blue weekend filled with live music, local makers, 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.
The 2026 July 4th Fireworks Show is sponsored by the Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce, Santa Rosa Island Authority, Escambia County, The Pensacola Beach Resort and The Grand Marlin.
