Pensacola Beach Air Show Will Have New Four-Day Format
June 11, 2020
The Pensacola Beach Air Show will go on this year in a new four-day format July 8-11.
After multiple meetings between the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) staff and air show performers, the staff proposes the SRIA continue planning the 2020 Pensacola Beach Air Show in July.
The air show program this year is built around social distancing in observance of the CDC recommendations for the COVID-19 virus.
The program will be a four-day event, and each day will have similar flight maneuvers. This expanded schedule will give the public four different opportunities to view the performances at least once.
The event’s footprint has been expanded substantially and there will be no center point in this year’s performance, to comply with CDC recommendations.
Aerial displays along the beach are scheduled to begin before noon each day.
SRIA staff and performers, including the Blue Angels, are still refining exact times and geographical locations that will include both Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key.

This show and the homecoming allways
cooks my rear.
The local media will come out show your
support to the blues…
Why don’t blues do something for the people
who wait in lines for hours waiting for a parking
lot that are not there…….
ATTENTION NAVY,,,,,,,, people all over Santa Rosa
and Escambia county come to you. Why don’t
you yours show come to North Escambia and Santa Rosa!!!!!!
Would be nice to see a show further north for us. Muscogee Rd turns into Alabama Rd to Bay Minette has a few good viewing areas as does Walnut Hill area.
@Well Not saying it’s right or wrong… but, by reading the article, I do see their logic and a difference between the two.
Fireworks are centered in one location. Generally, people would flock to the best places to see them which puts a ton of people trying to be in the same space.
They said, there will be no center point for the airshow, so they are saying they will probably doing different maneuvers in different spots, probably all the way from Portofino to Chicken Bone Beach… giving a LOT more area for people to spread out.
It will be interesting to see what the airshow brings for us. I am looking forward to it, but I wonder if any other events will be canceled.
Ain’t that something.
To many people for fireworks but hardly anyone goes to this event right.
