Looking for something to do outside on Florida’s Gulf Coast this weekend? Head to Pensacola, where the Blue Angels return to their home base for two days of aerial performances.
The Naval Air Station Pensacola Homecoming Air Show takes place Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7. Over 300,000 attendees are expected, making it one of Pensacola’s biggest events of the year.
What to expect
General admission and parking are free. Gates open at 8 a.m., and the show begins at 9:30 a.m. The Blue Angels are scheduled to perform around 2 p.m.
Bring chairs or blankets, or buy optional paid seating. Hearing protection is recommended, especially for children.
Visitors 18 and older should bring a REAL ID-compliant state-issued photo ID or a valid U.S. passport. Foreign nationals must bring a valid passport and may face additional screening.
When lots fill, visitors are directed to shuttle parking, so allow extra time for traffic and security. Review the official air show FAQs for prohibited items and other access requirements before leaving home.
