Want something fun to do?

If you are not already here you should come visit Pensacola Florida. AKA "The Other Florida"

We have some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, but if that doesn't interest you how about camping, fishing, boating, diving, canoeing....the list goes on.

Pensacola Florida is having one of the longest parties
in history to celebrate having the longest history in North America.

Did you know Pensacola was founded in 1559? That is six years before St. Augustine was founded. Spanish sailor Don Tristan de Luna arrived in Pensacola on August 15, 1559. Shortly after establishing the settlement, a hurricane destroyed supplies, eventually causing the Spanish to flee the area and not return until the 1600s.

To commemorate this 450th anniversary Celebrate Pensacola, Inc., a non-profit organization managing the celebration, is planning numerous special events and programs. The celebration will  last 450 days starting May 23, 2008 and continue to August 15, 2009.

 The events include parades, art exhibits, heritage walks, historical reenactments, educational programs, a Spanish wine festival and possibly a visit from Spanish royalty. The 450th celebration will culminate on August 15, 2009 with a national birthday celebration.

The kick off party is May 23, 2008 on Palafox Place at the Escambia County Courthouse fountain. Free hot dogs, Coca-Cola and music by the Pensacola Civic Band.
