Downtown Flavor. Big Energy. Seville Square Takeover.
A one-day-only Pensacola festival celebrating crispy wings, bold pickles, and local makers – with food trucks, vendors, artists, live entertainment, a pickle eating contest, costume contests, carnival games, and a kids zone, all under the oak trees in the heart of historic downtown Pensacola.
This is Pensacola’s party.
The Gulf Coast's Tastiest New Tradition
It's Kind of a Big Dill.
We're taking over Seville Square—one of the most beautiful festival spots on the Gulf Coast—for a full day of wings, pickles, food trucks, local makers, live entertainment, pickle-themed contests, costume competitions, and nonstop family fun. This isn't just a food festival. It's a dill-lightful celebration of all things briny, bold, and absolutely delicious.
Seville Square isn't just any park. It's the heart of downtown Pensacola, shaded by centuries-old live oak trees, steps from Pensacola Bay, and surrounded by the charm and history that make this city unlike anywhere else.
They're coming from everywhere—and we mean everywhere.
From Pensacola to Perdido Key, Mobile to Milton, and Destin to Daphne, pickle lovers and wing fanatics across the Gulf Coast are marking their calendars for May 16, 2026.
Families from Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Pace, and Cantonment are planning their Saturday around Seville Square. Foodies from Orange Beach, Foley, and Fairhope are making the trip. Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, and beyond—they've heard the buzz, and they're not missing out.
One day. One square. The entire Gulf Coast is united by pickles, wings, and good times.
