All 3 Viewing Spots — Pensacola, FL
Plaza de Luna (south end of Palafox Pier)
High crowd · Arrive by 6:00 PM · park · Free
PensacolaBeach.com: 'The reflections on the water and walkable location make it one of the most popular spots for fireworks in the city.' Splash pad is open, concessions at deLuna's Chat & Chew Grill close at 8 p.m.; arrive by 6 p.m. for a seawall spot. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Wayside Park East fishing pier
Medium crowd · park · Free
SaltChef notes Wayside Park East at 1401 East Gregory has the fishing pier, grills, picnic area and restrooms — closer to the Bay Bridge but with a wide-open eastern view of the launch barge and far less Bayfront Pkwy traffic than Bartram/Plaza de Luna. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Community Maritime Park / Blue Wahoos Stadium lawn
Medium crowd · park · Free
Park at the Community Maritime Park surface lots and walk Palafox south — the Pensacola Symphony's Symphony Sparks & Stars precedes the city show at Hunter Amphitheater here, and Maritime Park parking exits to Main St (not Bayfront Pkwy), making post-show egress dramatically faster. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
