Wicked Ways to Explore Pensacola: From Emerald Waters to Downtown Delights

In honor of Wicked, we're celebrating all things Emerald in Pensacola! Read on to find out just how you can experience the magic for yourself in Pensacola.

Pink Goes Good with Green

We can attest! Sunsets in Pensacola are truly magical and there are plenty of spots to catch the sunset. Emerald waters and cotton candy pink skies never looked so good.

Have another drink of green elixir

Stop on over at McGuire's Irish Pub located in Downtown Pensacola and grab an Irish Wake. It's a must try when at McGuires and is a mix of rum, Blue Curacao, and orange juice. Elphaba approved!

Everyone Deserves a Chance to Fly

Pensacola is the Home of the US Navy Blue Angels! They practice locally over the skies of NAS Pensacola on select dates from March - October. There are also two airshows - the Pensacola Beach Airshow and the Homecoming Airshow.

There’s No Place Like Home

Strolling down Palafox, browsing the shops, and grabbing a bite at our favorite downtown restaurants, experiencing a festival... Downtown Pensacola reminds us every time that there’s truly no place like home.

Dancing Through Life

Let this be your sign to dance through life and soak in the arts right here in Pensacola! Head downtown and treat yourself to a performance from Ballet Pensacola.

Like a Seed Dropped By A Sky Bird in a Distant Wood

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood, discover Pensacola's birding scene. The Pensacola Bay Area is listed on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, a network of 510 premier wildlife viewing sites.

One Short Day in the Emerald City
