The Juan Sebastian de Elcano, the world’s third largest tall ship, will be visiting Pensacola for a seven-day celebration to commemorate the city’s 450th anniversary. The ship will be docked at the Port of Pensacola in Downtown Pensacola June 3–9. The public is welcome to daily tours of the ship throughout the week and can meet members of the crew. Check the tour schedule.
While residents can decorate their boats and yachts with the five flags, visitors are welcome to gather at Portofino Boardwalk in Pensacola Beach to watch the boat parade on June 6 at 3 p.m. This free event is part of the landing ceremony, featuring a fun reenactment of the Spanish explorer Don Tristan DeLuna, fictional Mayoki Indians and other court members in elaborate costumes.
The festivities don’t end there! Join Fiesta of Five Flags in celebrating 60 years with a street parade on Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. Come down to Palafox Street to catch beads and watch the beautiful floats go by.
