Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival — October 1–11

Announcement Details

Every October, the sugar-white sands and historic venues of Pensacola transform into a lyrical haven for the Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival — and 2026 marks the second year of the expanded two-week format. Week one (Oct 1–4) focuses on Historic Downtown Pensacola venues, following last year's hugely successful debut of that format. Week two (Oct 5–11) brings performances back to the beloved Pensacola Beach venues where melodies meet the salty Gulf breeze. Hear the stories behind the songs directly from the songwriters who wrote them, in intimate indoor and outdoor settings across the Gulf Coast. A one-of-a-kind festival experience unlike anything else in Northwest Florida.
