3 Festive Ways to Celebrate the Holidays on Pensacola Beach Sprinkled with Frisky Mermaid Magic
Get ready to dive into the holiday spirit with three delightful events that blend island charm and festive cheer in Pensacola Beach! Kick off the festivities on Friday, December 6, 2024, with a magical pre-parade kids’ party at Shaggy’s, where Santa Claus and Mermaid Claus will be making a splash with cookie decorating and photo ops from 4 PM to 6 PM. Following the kids party, they will hop onboard Frisky Mermaid (a.k.a. Seahorse) to lead the Pensacola Beach Lighted Boat Parade creating a dazzling spectacle on the water before heading to the boardwalk for fireworks and more photo opportunities.

Continue the merriment on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Surfin’ Santa Parade, beginning at 2 PM and sponsored in part by the Frisky Mermaid. This lively event promises bunches of beads and goodies from local businesses, clubs and residents. Keep an eye out for the Mermaid Crew on their boat float, where the Mermaid Elves will be tossing beach balls with free dolphin tour tickets attached—a must-catch for any parade-goer.
Ring in the New Year with a breathtaking fireworks display over the Santa Rosa Sound at midnight on New Year’s Eve Sober Cruise. Join the zero-proof celebration aboard the Frisky Mermaid, where you’ll enjoy a stunning fireworks display reflected on the water, lighting up the night sky and creating a perfect start to the New Year. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, the festive spirit of Pensacola Beach is sure to warm your heart this holiday season!
