Visit Pensacola Announces 2020 Grant Recipients

Pensacola, Fla. – Visit Pensacola is pleased to announce its 2020 grant recipients for events taking place between May 1, 2020 – Sept. 30, 2020.

By focusing on the area’s quality of place, our community has the opportunity to show the world our destinations greatest assets.”
