About this event

Blue Wahoos Stadium transforms into a winter wonderland for Wahoos Winter Nights, a multi-weekend holiday light experience along Pensacola Bay. Wander through dazzling walk-through light displays on the stadium grounds with sweeping views of Pensacola Bay as the backdrop—one of the most scenic holiday settings on the entire Gulf Coast.

Santa Claus makes regular appearances for photos, and Sunday evenings feature outdoor movie screenings of beloved holiday films. The event runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from December 5 through 23, with daily events December 19–23, all from 6–9 PM. Tickets are $12 per person.

Blue Wahoos Stadium is located at 351 W. Cedar Street in downtown Pensacola, steps from the waterfront. Pair it with dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants before arriving at 6 PM for the best light-show atmosphere.

Best for: Families, couples, holiday light enthusiasts, fans of outdoor events with a bay view

What to expect: Walk-through holiday light displays at a bayfront stadium, Santa visits, and Sunday outdoor screenings of holiday movies (Elf, Home Alone, The Grinch).

Planning tip: Sunday evenings include outdoor movie screenings—bring a blanket. Arrive right at 6 PM before crowds build and catch the full 3-hour light experience.

Cost: $12 per person. Tickets available through the Blue Wahoos website.
