For over 10 years, the non-profit Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival has been a volunteer & sponsor-driven event held in Pensacola Beach & Pensacola indoor & outdoor venues.

In 2024 there will be both ticketed & free performances, as well as outreach events to support songwriting, veterans, children & adults in community programs targeting support for trauma, loss & grief and in select local schools.

This year a Songwriter contest was launched with judges from Nashville choosing the best from several musical genres, including youth writer/performers.

See the website for details of venues, days/times for both ticketed & non ticketed events.

If you are inclined to volunteer to help you can also sign up at the website to sell merchandise, announce performers, greet attendees, or help behind the scenes.
