Pensacola Beach Air Show UPDATE:

Santa Rosa Island Authority Planning Modified Pensacola Beach Air Show

PENSACOLA, Fla. (June 10, 2020) — After multiple meetings between the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) staff and air show performers, the staff proposes the SRIA continue planning the 2020 Pensacola Beach Air Show in July.

The air show program this year is built around social distancing in observance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for the COVID-19 virus.

The program will be a four-day event, and each day will have similar flight maneuvers. This expanded schedule will give the public four different opportunities to view the performances at least once.

The event’s footprint has been expanded substantially and there will be no center point in this year’s performance, to comply with CDC recommendations.

Aerial displays along the beach are scheduled to begin before noon each day.

SRIA staff and performers, including the Blue Angels, are still refining exact times and geographical locations that will include both Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key.

The full program with all the details will be published on June 26, 2020. For all official updates, please visit https://visitpensacolabeach.com/whats-happening-blue-angels/ or Visit Pensacola Beach’s Facebook page.

The 2020 Pensacola Beach Air Show Has Been Canceled

PENSACOLA, Fla. (July 2, 2020) — The 2020 Pensacola Beach Air Show originally scheduled for July 8-11, 2020, has been canceled. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels team informed the Santa Rosa Island Authority of their decision to cancel their performance late Thursday afternoon.

In a statement from the Blue Angels: “After much discussion and consideration regarding the current rise in COVID cases in our hometown, we have come to the conclusion that canceling our flights during the Pensacola Beach air show is the only way we can ensure the safety of our community we love so much.

Each year we look forward to the opportunity to fly for our friends, family and neighbors here in Pensacola. This was not an easy decision to make. Unfortunately, we are navigating very uncertain and unpredictable times. We felt this was the necessary decision to make in effort to keep our community safe.”
The SRIA looks forward to hosting this popular annual air show event again next year, on July 9-10, 2021.
