Bands on the Beach - Pensacola . . . a Tuesday Night Summer Ritual

Bands on the Beach - Pensacola . . . Grab your lawn chairs, the cooler and blankets, get some sand in your shoes! There's no better way to wind down from a hectic day at work than to enjoy the sunset and music at the Gulfside Pavilion at Casino Beach overlooking the amazing white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9pm a local band wows the crowds at the Bands on the Beach event.

Everyone is invited - it's free - and, trust me, the people watching is second to none. We've got grannies and grand dads swing dancing, children doing handstands and, well, you name it you will probably see it (All G-rated for sure!).
