A heartfelt modern classic “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harling, explores a rich culture of friendship through the lens of a small town. Join the women of Chinquapin, Louisiana at Truvy’s hair salon for your weekly dose of love, laughter and tears in this timeless dramatic comedy “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harling. Truvy, the owner and center for all news and gossip in town; Clairee Belcher, former first lady of Chinquapin; Ouiser Boudreaux, the town’s wealthy old bitty who always has an opinion that must be shared; Annelle, the shy and quiet junior hairdresser; M’Lynn, a charming career woman; and Shelby, her daughter, gain so much more than a fresh blow-dry at Truvy's Beauty Spot each week. Steel Magnolias illustrates the bonds of womanhood, “delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel” as they navigate the joys and sorrows of life. This production contains adult themes and situations and may not be suitable for all audiences.

The legend lives on and is more haunting than ever…
Dracula reawakens, but not as you remember him. Ballet Pensacola unveils this reimagined tale of temptation and terror that will transport audiences into a world where elegance meets the eerie.

Featuring original, pulse-pounding choreography by a special Guest Choreographer, this chilling reinvention weaves gothic horror with hypnotic beauty, creating a must-see ballet that’s as thrilling as it is elegant. From sweeping romantic duets to explosive ensemble work, every moment is infused with danger, beauty, and passion.

This isn’t just a ballet, it’s dark, daring, and it’s waiting for you. Enter the shadows — if you dare...

Get a double dose of spooky Halloween fun Saturday, October 25 from 9am-2pm at the Palafox Market Halloween Market! Trick or treat with 200+ vendors spread across two historic downtown Pensacola parks: MLK, Jr. Plaza and Plaza Ferdinand.

A free Haunted Trolley will board courageous riders from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. — and the first 50 kids who ride will get a special treat! Keep an eye out for Winterfest’s Pumpkin Man—he’ll be walking through both parks handing out candy. There’s also:

Get clued-in to a night of sipping and sleuthing! See if you can crack the case by solving our murder mystery at your own pace, solo or in teams. We'll also have all our regular museum exhibits up and running including mystery-themed trivia on the sciPad. You'll get to explore the field of forensic science, play with fun technology, and compete for some awesome prizes while you figure out whodunit. Was it the the museum caretaker, in the reptile room, with the Bunsen burner? Or perhaps the night watchman, in the exhibit hall, with the scalpel? Bonus points (and prizes) to those who come in their best spy, sleuth, detective, or Clue-themed costumes...Scooby Gang, anyone?

Come dressed in Halloween costumes, get your Trick-or-Treat candy, and prepare to be scared! We're ready to celebrate Halloween under the night sky in our inflatable planetarium. Join us for a fun and scary night of monster stories, inspired by our planets, moons, and stars. There will be stories of familiar monsters (werewolves, vampires, and minotaurs), unfamiliar monsters (Karakondzula, Chimera, and Coatlicue), and the heroes who battled them. In a battle between good and evil, who will win?

Join our 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. show for family-friendly stories about the creepy creatures of mythology hidden in the night sky. These showings are appropriate for ages 5 and up. Our 7 p.m. Spooktacular Show is more appropriate for ages 8 and up as the tales told during this show are spookier. All shows last approximately 45 minutes.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. In case of no-shows/late shows: reserved spots will be released at show time to make space for the next party.
