Pensacola knows how to throw a party.
This isn't a fancy food festival. It's a neighborhood party with really good food. Wings you'll dream about. Pickle creations in places you never expected—from pickle ice cream to pickle pizza to pickle-brined everything. Entertainment that keeps your feet moving. A pickle-eating contest that'll have you cheering. Costume contests that'll have you laughing. And all of it surrounded by the charm, history, and walkable energy of historic downtown Pensacola.
Supporting the community is a core part of this event. A portion of the proceeds from the Pensacola Pickles and Wings Family Festival will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House of Northwest Florida, helping support families with children receiving medical care in our region. Come hungry, come local, and come ready to celebrate food, fun, and giving back together.
This is the pickle party Pensacola didn't know it needed. Come find out what all the dill is about.
