Beulahfest Moving To New Home
July 26, 2013
The 28th Annual Beulahfest will have a new home next year.
The event has been held for the past few years at the Escambia County Equestrian Center, but the next festival will be held at the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds.
“Our patrons have spoken and we are answering,” Beulahfest Chairman Yancy McNair said. “People seemed to like the open spaces our event provided for so many years in the field across from the fire department. We can’t go back to that field so we found the next best place. The fairgrounds can provide us with wide open spaces and plenty of secure parking. Except for a handful of vendors, the entire event will be outdoors. Also, with recent changes to the Equestrian Center the time is now.”
McNair said the move to the fairgrounds will bring some exciting changes.
“I am very excited about the move to the fairgrounds. We have a lot of exciting changes coming in 2014,” he said.
The 28th Annual BeulahFest will be held on March 21 and 22, 2014.

Don’t matter if you have to move it to Gulf Beeze, it’ll still be a great festival put on by great people that do great things for the community ! Keep up the good work !
I was involved in the very first festival and have attended for many years. This thing had grown bigger than I think most ever imagined. I know for a fact that the committee that runs it has done everything within their powers ( for years )to keep it in Beulah and have tried real hard to keep it close to the Firehouse. They do a lot of good for the whole Pensacola area and I will support them wherever they have to go to make it happen. Keep up the GREAT work that you people do Beulahfest and Beulah VFD ! Y’all are the Best !
In the old days, the original Beulah Sausage Festival was nice. They charged for parking but not admission and the grounds were packed. Later they charged admission and not as many people went. So they thought the location was the problem so they went to the equestrian center but they still charged too much for the festival. Now the fair. Beulah Fire Department needs to take some lessons from Elberta Alabama. Two days a year they hold a sausage festival. It is a hometown festival with great food and a great variety of vendors. They don’t charge admission and all the money goes to the fire department. This has been going on for years. Beulah get educated. Go back to your original venue or give it up. Elberta has it together and they make money with a good, wholesome, family event that doesn’t cost the average family an arm and a leg. And the sausage is much better too.
I remember the first one wow how things have changed. I do miss the old beulah though when we was all one…
i sure hope the good vibe moves with them
When things get bigger and better you have to get bigger and better.Thiis fund raiser helps many non profit groups.I have help with this for many years. The sound will be much better on the OPEN AIR THEATER .Just like the good old days across from the fire house.ROCK ON BEULAH.I”ll be ther to help again WILD MAN COX
Is the Beulah Sausage Fest now going to be in Bellview? I remember this fest started out “JUST” to help the Volunteer Fire Department! Is this fest still “JUST” supporting the Beulah Fire Department? We have moved it on down the road!! Next stop will be Downtown Pensacola!! Everything seem IMO goes south!! Why couldn’t it stay in Beulah?
yeah…. I understand why it was at the equestrian center but the sound was awful.. We loved it in the field… Looking forward to the new and improved. Thanks to all our first responders as well. Y’all are appreciated.
