Arts & Culture

Vacation Artfully

Enjoy year-round opportunities to experience and appreciate the beauty that exists outside of the “world’s whitest beaches.” If you like to explore the arts, you can take in a theater show, catch a musical performance, admire the beauty of dance, visit some galleries or lose yourself in live music.

Pensacola is the only city from Tampa to Mobile hosting such a diversity of cultural experiences. In other words, Pensacola really knows how to make a scene.

Only here can you experience the Pensacola Opera, the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Pensacola, the historic Saenger Theatre, and the accredited Pensacola Museum of Art, all within downtown’s historic core.

In addition to those top-notch professional companies, Pensacola's thriving visual arts scene includes the First City Art Center and numerous downtown galleries; an eclectic local theater scene anchored by the Pensacola Little Theatre; and numerous opportunities to catch touring music artists at Vinyl Music Hall or Pensacola Bay Center.

Award-winning festivals and traditional holiday performances coupled with evening art strolls and themed museum events fill Pensacola's robust annual arts calendar. And, quite possibly the best aspect: it’s sophisticated but not intimidating, meaning anyone and everyone can easily participate.
