On Wednesday, November 8th, the Downtown Improvement Board's annual holiday lighting ceremony will kick-off the First City Lights Festival in Downtown Pensacola. 

Get ready to kick off the holiday season with Downtown Pensacola and the shops on Palafox on Wednesday, Nov. 8th from 5-8pm, when you'll find shopping deals, holiday drinks, special pop up vendors, Santa himself, and more! 

Fast forward to late September downtown. The cool breeze is a biblical relief for locals that know just how magic the fall can be in Pensacola. The dark blue skies and fading sun rays are annual signs that festival season is here, and there are three upcoming fall festivals that you won't want to miss!

Underneath Interstate 110, wheels are turning fast. People are reluctant to use their brakes. Crashes are accepted. It's not a driver’s nightmare. The Blake Doyle Skatepark is a boarders dream.

A second Palafox Market location has opened to accomodate more vendors, more customers, and more memorable Saturdays. Palafox Market South is located on the round Plaza Ferdinand on the corner of Palafox and Government streets.  The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) says that the new venue will increase the vendor count by dozens and the visitor capacity by thousands.
