All About the 2020 Pensacola Seafood Festival ~ Southern Vacation Rentals
If you’re vacationing with us in Pensacola Beach this November, then you’re going to want to make it a point to head downtown for the Pensacola Seafood Festival. Held in historic Seville Square, the event brings food, music, and arts and crafts together for an unforgettable weekend. According to their website, it’s a “Gulf Coast experience to taste, see, listen, touch.” What more could you ask for?
This year, the Pensacola Seafood Festival has been rescheduled from its original date of September 25-27 to November 6-8. Fiesta Pensacola is working closely within CDC guidelines to ensure that the event can still go on. We’re hopeful that this staple in the Pensacola community can continue on!
Food
There’s something for everyone at the Pensacola Seafood Festival. Whether you love seafood or have a picky eater in your crew, the multitude of vendors have you covered! Curated seafood vendors are serving up items like crawfish mac n’ cheese, coconut shrimp, and lobster rolls. Meanwhile, “landlubbers” can also enjoy burgers, hot dogs, corndogs, nachos, and more. In addition, some of Pensacola’s best chefs are coming together at the Pensacola Seafood Festival for an exclusive Gulf to Table experience. Some previous Pensacola restaurants at the festival include Cafe NOLA, The Fish House, and Nick’s Boathouse. You’ll even get the chance to watch these chefs in action at the Fiesta Seafood Grille outdoor demo kitchen. Don’t miss out!
