    PEACOCK GROUP | THIS WEEK IN PENSACOLA

    August 7 through August 13, 2026

    This Week in Pensacola

    Hi friends,

    August is here, it’s hot enough to cook breakfast on the driveway, and there’s plenty happening around Pensacola this week.

    Here are a few things worth getting out of the house for.

    📍 THIS WEEK AROUND PENSACOLA

    🎨 First Fridays Art Walk
    Friday, August 7 | 5:30–7:30 PM | Downtown Pensacola
    Walk the galleries, meet local artists, hear live music and enjoy downtown. Admission is free, and complimentary trolley transportation is available during the event.

    ⚾ Blue Wahoos vs. Montgomery
    Friday, August 7 | 6:05 PM | Blue Wahoos Stadium
    If baseball, cold drinks and a Pensacola Bay sunset sound like a pretty good Friday night, the Wahoos are home against Montgomery.

    🎸 Live Music on Pensacola Beach
    Friday, August 7 and Saturday, August 8 | Bamboo Willie’s
    Make a beach day of it and check the current Bamboo Willie’s schedule for live music throughout the weekend.

    ✌️ Sandstock at Flora-Bama
    Saturday, August 8 | Starts at 11 AM | Flora-Bama
    Flora-Bama is going back to the ’60s for Sandstock with tie-dye, peace signs, live entertainment and an all-day beach party. Admission is free. Hippie attire is optional, but I feel like you should commit.

    ✨ Animation Celebration: After Hours Magic at the PMA
    Saturday, August 8 | 6–8 PM | Pensacola Museum of Art
    This one-night fundraiser features original animation artwork, live music, signature cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a live art auction, a magician, caricature drawings, photo opportunities and more. Tickets are $75 for one or $100 per couple.

    📣 Community Event Shared by Wayne
    Welcome back, Tall Ship Elissa — Downtown Pensacola is very happy to host you again. According to Galveston Historic Seaport, home of the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa, she first visited here in 1886 and then again in 2018. This will be her final Galveston 250 appearance before returning home to Galveston, Texas.

    Spots are limited, but you can enjoy a special daysail on Friday from 2–6 p.m. It’s your chance to join the crew on the water for an afternoon learning the ropes of sailing a National Historic Landmark.

    The Elissa will also be open for FREE public tours Friday from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Details are available at galveston250.com.

    🏙️ GOOD NEWS ON THE WEST SIDE

    The Legion Field to Global Learning Academy sidewalk connection project will add and replace sidewalks along portions of Gregory Street, North L Street and West Wright Street, along with related pedestrian and roadway improvements.

    The goal is to improve pedestrian safety and better connect residents and students between Legion Field Park and Global Learning Academy.

    It may not be the flashiest headline of the week, but improvements like this matter. Walkability, connectivity and neighborhood investment all play a role in how an area grows over time.

    🏠 WAYNE'S MARKET MINUTE

    Here’s what I’m seeing right now: buyers have choices again.

    The latest available Realtor.com data classifies Pensacola as a balanced housing market. In June, homes sold for about 98% of asking price on average, with a median of about 60 days on market.

    That does NOT mean every buyer should start throwing lowball offers around. Nice try. 😂

    It means strategy matters.

    If you’re buying, you may have more room to negotiate price, repairs or closing costs.

    If you’re selling, pricing correctly from day one matters more than it has in the past few years.

    The right move comes down to your Mission, your Math and then your Move.

    🔑 FEATURED OPPORTUNITY

    2025 W Wright Street, Pensacola

    This property is all about potential. You get the existing home plus two additional buildable lots just minutes from Downtown Pensacola.

    The home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the extra land creates possibilities for an investor, builder, or buyer with a bigger vision for the property.

    Opportunities with this combination of downtown access, an existing residence and additional buildable land are increasingly difficult to find.
