This only applies to events that are permitted through Escambia County or the City of Pensacola. It does not include schools, churches, or other private events. Event organizers are encouraged to use their discretion and follow the directions of officials from the Florida Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to determine if event cancellations are necessary.
The city will work with event organizers to reschedule events as needed. Currently, the county does not have any publicly-permitted events that would be affected.
Residents are encouraged to use their discretion when it comes to attending public events.
