City extends COVID restrictions for events

The City of Pensacola is extending the previously implemented COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines for city-permitted events through Thursday, March 11. The restrictions were initially set to expire Feb. 28.

The restrictions are as follows:

  • The City of Pensacola will not issue new event permits for events at outdoor city venues. This will remain in effect through March 11 and will be re-evaluated at that time based on current COVID-19 conditions.
  • Events that have already been issued a permit or events currently in the permitting process between now and March 11, located at outdoor city venues, will be allowed with the following restrictions:
    • No more than 100 in attendance
    • Must show control of crowd congestion and follow CDC guidelines, including wearing face coverings and practicing social distancing (remain at least 6 feet from others who don’t live with you)
    • Outdoor markets are allowed to continue above the 100-person cap, but must show control of crowd congestion and follow CDC guidelines, including wearing face coverings and practicing social distancing (remain at least 6 feet from others who don’t live with you)
  • Indoor events at City of Pensacola venues are limited to 25% capacity or less, with COVID-19 protocols in place, including wearing face coverings and practicing social distancing . Indoor events also require Mayoral approval. This will remain in effect until March 11.

These restrictions only apply to City of Pensacola-permitted events at city venues and do not apply to private events. The city will work with event organizers to reschedule events as needed.
