The 34th Annual Fiesta of Five Flags—Pensacola Seafood Festival: a short jaunt from Marietta to where you can smell the salt in the air.

The Fiesta of Five Flags is an annual celebration of the founding of Pensacola and is held in historic Seville Square in downtown Pensacola Friday through Sunday, Sept. 23 through Sept. 25.

Tasty food and talented artists close out the summer festival near the beach.

Musical performances by Drivin’ n Cryin’, Emerson Drive and other musicians will fill Bartram Park, a beautiful 2.6 acre space from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of Pensacola Bay. In the words of Emerson Drive, ”Open up the cooler, I’ll do the pouring.”
