Night Moves Fest: Japanese Breakfast, Dashboard Confessional

Night Moves Music Fest is set to return for its third year on Nov. 8,  bringing one day of live music and outdoor fun to Community Maritime Park at 301 W. Main St. in downtown Pensacola. This year’s lineup includes nationally recognized headliners Japanese Breakfast, Dashboard Confessional, and Joyce Manor, along with locally beloved artists like Ben Loftin and the Family, Ego Death, and Katie Dineen. Additional performances will include rising acts such as Origami Angel and Wishy.

After nearly 100% growth in its second year, Night Moves Music Fest is on track for its biggest year yet in 2025. Curated by The Handlebar and the Pensacola-based nonprofit Night Moves, the festival is a 2025 grant recipient of the annual Pensacola Foo Foo Festival event series produced by Art, Culture, and Entertainment, Inc. (ACE), taking place Oct. 30 through Nov. 10.

“We’re extremely happy to be recognized by ACE and Foo Foo Fest to bring another music festival to Pensacola this fall. We love where we live and are proud to have a small impact in making it a better place. This is a dream lineup for us, and we’re so thankful for the chance to bring these artists to our town — many of them for the first time ever,” said Robert Goodspeed, Director, Night Moves.

Night Moves Music Fest is an all-ages, rain or shine event. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 25, with multiple tiers available. In addition to live music, the festival will feature local food trucks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options, and vintage vendors in a market-style area.
