Pensacola Winterfest

Everything starts at Plaza Wonderland on Palafox Place. The free Elf Parade kicks off the season at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 27, and evening tours begin at 5:30 p.m. that night. Tour and photo prices change by date, with the lowest kids’ tour tickets on the earliest November nights, so book online ahead. Christmas week adds a Scrooge and Marley tour from December 19 to 24. Pair a tour with dinner on Palafox, and on December 12 you can stay downtown for the Christmas parade.
