Here comes Santa Claus, right down Palafox Street! Just like the iconic Christmas song, all will be merry and bright beginning Nov. 5 as Downtown Pensacola lights up with the launch of a seven-week celebration of holiday magic. With dazzling lights, festive shopping, family fun, and a jolly lineup of events, it’s beginning to feel a lot like the holidays in the heart of the city.
The fun starts at 3 p.m. on Nov. 5, when Santa arrives downtown in front of the grand Christmas tree at the Pensacola Museum of History(weather permitting). Families can snap selfies and share wish lists until 4:45 p.m., when Santa helps to flip the switch that lights up downtown for the season and then makes his way along Palafox to pop into local shops.
