Pensacola Seafood Festival kicks off today for three-day weekend

The Pensacola Seafood Festival returns to downtown Pensacola this weekend for its 47th year.

Expect to see some big changes when it comes to food. At every corner, you can expect to see at least three different areas of local chefs, restaurants and food trucks preparing their best seafood dishes.

“For our Gulf to Table area, local restaurants will be serving serve tapas style portions of their signature dishes,” Fiesta Pensacola Director of Events Margaret-Anne West said. Organizers expected to have 10 restaurants participate in that experience.

After you get your fill, be sure to get a front row seat at Fiesta Seafood Grille. Sponsored by Pensacola Energy, the Fiesta Seafood Grille features live cooking demonstrations from local restaurants throughout the weekend.

“They usually cook two dishes,” West said. “And they select lucky audience members to come and taste the dishes, so that will be a lot of fun.”
