and bars open their doors to the night air as 
visitors and locals fl ood the streets to enjoy 
music, art and cuisine. Café tables set out on 
brick sidewalks are the perfect place to enjoy a 
coffee or cocktail, as the sounds of live music 
and a spirited crowd fi ll the air. Families 
linger in the downtown parks, playing around 
the beautiful fountains and historic oaks.

It’s the perfect chance to get an inside look 

at Pensacola’s lively downtown sector and 
thriving art scene. Streets close to traffi c at
