The Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce’s annual Art & Wine Festival will take place Saturday, May 10, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk and is calling for artists to join in the fun!
"We're excited to shine a spotlight on our vibrant local artist community," said Jessica Simpson, president and CEO of the Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce. "Spring is the perfect time to celebrate creativity, bringing together talented artists, live music, and exceptional wine selections in a beautiful beachside setting. With the festival taking place just before Mother’s Day, it’s a wonderful opportunity to find a one-of-a-kind gift or simply enjoy a fun and festive day with family and friends.”
The Beach Chamber invites art vendors to illuminate this year’s festival with their work. To submit an application, go to pensacolabeachchamber.com/art-wine-festival/. The selection committee is seeking approximately 20 artists to sell original works of art. Photos of art items must be submitted with the application, or include directions to a website where the artwork items can be viewed. Deadline for artist vendors applying is April 14, 2025. All entries are $100.00 for a 10 x 10-foot space.
The annual festival brings together dozens of local artists and more than 50 wine selections from distributor Kelley’s Beach Liquors.
The festival is free to the public, however to participate in the wine tastings festivalgoers must purchase a ticket and receive a wristband. Wine tastings will begin at 1 p.m. and last until 4 p.m. only.
New this year, a Distillery Den featuring a nice selection of distilled liquor will also be available for ticketed tastings from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Advanced online ticket sales for the wine tastings are $40 per ticket and for the distillery den are $25. Both can be purchased through the Chamber website through Thursday, May 8. A select number of tickets will be available for purchase for $55 wine tastings and $40 for distillery den tastings on the day of the event.
The Chamber would like to extend a special thank you to event sponsors Santa Rosa Island Authority, Kelly’s Beach Liquors, Gulf Breeze Natural Gas, The Pensacola Beach Resort, ProTerra Imagery, Gulf Coast Insurance, Bella Magazine, Beach Laundry, and Ballinger Publishing.
