Mardi Gras-Themed Lighted Boat Parade to Headline Pensacola Beach’s INDULGE WeekFebruary 1-7, 2021
Pensacola, Fla. (January 12, 2021) – The Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that a Mardi Gras-themed Lighted Boat Parade is set for Saturday, Feb. 6, at 6 p.m. and will headline the Chamber’s INDULGE Week on the island, February 1-7.
Pensacola Beach and neighboring business communities have seen a sharp decline in visitor traffic over the past several months due to the unexpected closure of the Pensacola Bay Bridge. With more people patronizing the restaurants, retail stores, attractions, and lodging located on and around the island during the first week of February, the Chamber hopes to boost the business community.
“We are asking locals and visitors alike to come out to the beach to “INDULGE” a little and go shop, eat, drink, play, and explore our beautiful island’s many attractions and businesses,” said Pensacola Beach Chamber Executive Director Patty Spradling.
In addition, on Saturday, Feb. 6, the Chamber will host a Mardi Gras-themed lighted boat parade starting at 6 p.m. from Sabine Marina in Little Sabine Bay. The parade will wind its way around the Santa Rosa Sound to the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk and then circle back. Spectators can safely watch the parade from Little Sabine, the beach boardwalk, and anywhere off the Santa Rosa Sound.
