Weekend Roundup of Activities in Pensacola
Posted in Places to Go & Things to Do, Seasonal Activities on December 11, 2009
This weekend there are all kinds of great activities going on and tons of places to spot Santa!!! Here are a few of our picks…you might see us there!
Saturday, December 12 – Pensacola Christmas Parade - This is one of our favorite activities of this season. It is chilly outside so we make a big thermos of hot chocolate and stake out a great seat for the parade. The kids love to look at the lights, the floats and the marching bands! According to the website, Santa picks up letters from the kids in the crowd. Our children were not old enough to pay attention to this aspect of the parade last year, but I am definitely going to have my kids write their letters today!
Saturday, December 12 – Storytime at Barnes and Noble – The children will be reading Merry Christmas, Splat. According to the calendar, there will be no craft or activity. Enjoy the story and then do some Christmas shopping with your little ones!
Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13 – Christmas in the Park - Big Lagoon State Park – From 4pm to 9pm, take a walk through Big Lagoon State Park and check out all the Christmas decorations and lights. Santa will be there around 6pm! According to the website, park admission is waived if you are participating in this event!
Sunday, December 13 - Surfing Santa Beach Parade - Didn’t get enough parade on Saturday? Head to Gulf Breeze to watch the Surfing Santa Beach Parade. Santa left his sleigh in the North Pole and will be arriving on a fire truck!
