Pensacola traditionally hosts a fantastic series of events to welcome the new year, so expect lots of celebrations for all the family, plus of course fireworks!
As a waterfront city, Pensacola has an ideal setting for watching fireworks on new years eve, and most of the local attractions are very much beach based, although there are also sights such as the National Naval Aviation Museum and Historic Pensacola Village that are worth checking out.
The Pelican Drop was a new years eve tradition in Pensacola for many years, although the large scale downtown event did fall victim to budgetary contraints and again, it looks like it won't be resurrected this year. Check with venue just in case of any last minute announcements closer to the time here.
There will be fireworks along the Pensacola Beach boardwalk at midnight this year. Look out for the spectular fireworks show over the beach. It' not quite the same as the full on celebrations we all know and love, but we do love fireworks!
(TBC) Laguna's Beach Bar from 11am - 3pm. Noon Year's Eve is a fun, family friendly event with lots of great activities, live music and a beach ball drop at noon! Wristband details, once released, available here.
For those looking for a more cultural diversion, the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra perform their annual Celebrate the New Year! concert at the Saenger Theatre. The show starts at 7pm and is finished by 9pm so you still have time to get outside and enjoy the street party and fireworks. Find tickets here.
Head to Perfect Plain Brewing Co. for an epic New Year's Eve celebration. A chance for you to dress to impress and undulge in a world of champagne, live music, aerialists, drag shows, open bar, special menu and lots of surprises throughout the evening. Ticket details here: Bouj Year's Eve
If you're staying in town for new years day and are feeling up to it there is the annual Polar Bear Plunge, where hardy souls head down to the beach from around noon to chase away their hangovers with a plunge into the Santa Rosa Sound.
There are plenty of hotels to choose from in Pensacola, many located right on the beach. Try the Hilton Pensacola Beach or the Hampton Inn for fireworks views.
You can search for deals at all of these venues, plus all of the top Pensacola new years eve hotels here.
There are several live webcam views on Pensacola Beach, bringing to close to the new year celebrations, and as they are live streaming cameras you may even get a front row view of the fireworks:
