Foo Foo Festival

October 31 - November 11

Foo Foo Fest, held every autumn, is a 12-day extravaganza that brings together a diverse array of cultural and creative experiences under a single banner, drawing visitors to Pensacola, Florida.

A 19th century term, a “foo foo,” is a spontaneous band of musicians, especially on a sailing vessel. Foo Foo Fest organizers wanted to emulate the spontaneity of such a performance, providing Pensacola with a flurry of high-quality art and culture events to liven up the shoulder season here in the Pensacola Bay Area. Plus, it’s a cute name!
