Pensacola Beach Chamber Lines Up Fall Events, Taste of the Beach Tickets Available

The Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce is ramping up its fall calendar with several signature events designed to draw visitors and give local businesses a spotlight in the coming weeks.

Taste of the Beach, one of the chamber's marquee events, is still accepting ticket purchases for three experiential offerings. The Sunset Cruise features an evening on Santa Rosa Sound with an open bar and entertainment, followed by heavy appetizers and cocktails at Baja Coastal Kitchen. For a multi-restaurant experience, the VIP Trolley Dinner takes guests to several of Pensacola Beach's top restaurants, while the Brunch Trolley Experience begins with a welcome mimosa at the Visitors Center before moving to three beach restaurants, each with a cocktail pairing.

This Thursday, the Pensacola Beach Chamber is hosting a Joint Business After Hours with the Gulf Breeze Chamber, sponsored by Bamboo Willie's. The event is designed to help chamber members expand their professional networks and reconnect with peers. Meanwhile, the free summer concert series continues tonight at Casino Beach's Gulfside Pavilion, where the Knee Deep Band—a high-energy variety act covering everything from Motown to reggae—will perform from 7 to 9 p.m.

Looking ahead to October, the chamber is calling for vendors for Beach-O-Ween on Friday, October 16 at the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk. Last year's event drew over 1,000 children and families. Chamber members interested in setting up a booth, running a game, or handing out candy can promote their business while contributing to a community Halloween celebration.
