Welcome to the 2023 Blue Angels season! Since 1946, it has been their honor to represent the United States Navy and Marine Corps to audiences both locally and abroad as they showcase the excitement, precision, and power of naval aviation.

Some say, “the world is your oyster”—however, the team at Peat & Pearls says the oyster is their world! On October 4–7, 2018, we joined the Second Annual Peat & Pearls festival in downtown Pensacola to celebrate two of their favorite things: Scotch and delicious oysters.

The prettiest pearls wouldn’t exist without a little grit, and the Gulf Coast, known for its opulent sugar-white beaches and Old South charm, was built on the backs of fishermen, sailors, and seafarers. Peat & Pearls celebrates this heritage through two of our favorite things: Scotch and oysters.

For our readers in the Northwest Florida area, grab a jacket and head to the Pensacola Bay Center this weekend for a totally new experience from the famed Cirque du Soleil—Crystal! Tickets are available from tonight, October 20 through Sunday, October 22.

Peat & Pearls, Nov. 5–6 in downtown Pensacola, will feature fine Scotches, farm-raised oysters, and award-winning chefs.

If you want to put your finger on the pulse of Pensacola, Florida, head to the CSX train trestle on Seventeenth Avenue.
