Flight academy hosts Family Night Story, photo

by Jason J. Bortz NAS Pensacola Public Affairs Officer

With nerves of steel, 30 military families had the opportunity to attempt something few people have the chance to do ... fly a plane from an aircraft carrier.

The National Flight Academy (NFA) hosted the free Military Family Night Sept. 20 onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola.

The NFA was designed to address the serious concerns of declining science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills and standards in our country.

The Academy’s mission is to inspire students who subsequently return to their parent schools and seek out the more challenging courses in STEM. The academy is an educational activity authorized, but not endorsed or financially supported by the United States Navy.

“We hosted the Military Family Night to show our support for, and enhance our role, in the local community,” said Hannah Ritz, manager of

administration, NFA. Designed to resemble the interior of an aircraft carrier, the NFA includes a galley, ready rooms, navigational systems and a “hangar” of flight simulators. After a brief introduction, families were divided into “squadrons” and reported to their assigned ready

rooms for a flight brief. From there, it was to the simulators and the opportunity to try and fly aircraft. Most of the flights resulted in crashes, but the thrill of flying energized the hangar.

“Our team at NFA is thrilled with how the event went,” said Ritz. “The highlight was the energy of the families; everyone

seemed very excited and engaged in the activities and very happy to attend.”

In addition to the NFA, the event was also supported by the United Service Organization, Fleet and Family Support Center, Morale, Welfare and Recreation and other local organizations.

NFPA Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 6 to 12 From Craig Lewis Fire Prevention Chief Fire & Emergency Services Gulf Coast

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has announced the dates for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6 to 12 with the theme being, “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape.”

When people talk about “Heroes” these days it seems it is about fictional characters, but in the real world we have our military,

firefighters, emergency medical technicians and police to look to. However, looking a little closer to home it can actually be you, a member of your family or a neighbor.

When you plan and practice an escape plan, it can and does save lives – no fiction here – just fact. Take some real family time and draw up a simple floor plan showing two ways out, test your smoke detectors monthly and ensure they are on

each level of your home, in each bedroom and hallways outside the bedrooms.

As we, hope for the cooler weather now is the time to schedule a furnace or fireplace inspection and cleaning. If you have natural or other heating gases or an attached garage make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector to protect your family See Prevention on page 2

Miracle League facelift powered by Navy volunteer team Capt. Maxine Goodridge

“NATTC is a place of learning and teaching,” Goodridge said. “I have learned so very much from my staff and students, and I encourage my staff to use every opportunity as a teaching opportunity. The Navy needs highly trained Sailors and Marines and experienced mentors to guide them. Continue to lead, to mentor, to guide our youngest service members to reach their full potential.”

U.S. Navy Sailors from Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola recently joined members of Miracle League of Pensacola (MLP), a non-profit organization, to repair and upgrade baseball fields for special needs children in the local community, Sept. 17.

The MLP provides physically and mentally challenged children a safe and spirited program in which they can hit, run and catch on a baseball field like other youth.

“The experience has been nothing, but rewarding for me,” said Air Traffic Controlman 1st Class Vincent Pang.

“We are helping people to be able to participate in a sport that they usually

would not have the ability to do so.

Just seeing the energy, the smiles and the kids having fun makes it worthwhile. I’ve been volunteering for this organization since April of 2017 and it’s been great.”

Over the course of three weeks, Miracle League staff members and Sailors worked together to place more than 39,000 pounds of special rubberized surfacing on field number two of three that has been deemed American Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant for safe use. The surface allows the children to perform without fear of injuring themselves during play. Once the surface was completely in place, the Sailors then applied all the required baseball See Miracle League on page 2

For 49 years, commanding officers have appointed volunteers as a conduit between the command leadership and the command families. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Dan Mennuto.

NATTC from page 1 Capt. Nathan Schneider, commanding officer of the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), was the guest speaker for the ceremony and spoke about the critical role NATTC plays.

“The Navy must be prepared to protect and defend our great country and be ready to fight tonight,” Schneider said. “The role naval aviation plays is key to that defense, more now than ever before, as we are challenged on many fronts as guardians of the seas. NATTC is training those Sailors who will provide the readiness to enable our success and preparing them professionally and technically to meet the great power competition in which we find ourselves. We are in good hands.”

Prior to assuming command of NATTC, Decker was assigned to the Pentagon as air traffic control resource and requirements officer for OPNAV N980A. “The present time finds the Navy a busy organization,” Decker said. “The world continues apace, and we have significant challenges ahead of us as a nation. The men and women of our Navy and Marine Corps play a key role in ensuring our nation meets those challenges.”

Goodridge’s next assignment will be with Navy Region Southeast, Jacksonville, Florida.

For more than 75 years NATTC has been providing training and increasing readiness within the Naval Aviation Enterprise. NATTC graduates approximately 15,000 Navy, Marine and international students annually.

The majority of the student body is comprised of enlisted personnel attending “A” schools, where they gain the knowledge and skills required to perform in the fleet as technicians at the apprentice level.

Pang has lead several working parties consisting of predominately young Sailors who are in training at NATTC to eventually take their newfound skills and put them to effective use in the fleet.

“I really love doing this because I know people who are not in the position to give back and now that I have this opportunity to help others in need, this really makes me feel like I am doing something worthy that someone else can gain from,” said Airman Apprentice Charles Weigart.

The support of the Sailors extends beyond just repairing the

fields; several of them have become what is termed as ‘buddies’ – aids who assist the children during games, ensuring that they have a safe and fun time playing ball. Miracle League games are played every Friday and every Saturday evening.

Every player plays, hits, gets on base, scores and wins every inning.

“Being a ‘buddy’ to the children makes you feel good,” said Weigart. “It makes me want to come back every Saturday when I’m helping the little guys play too – that’s really exciting for me so all in all, I feel like it’s a very gratifying experience because I get to meet new people and just help the kids grow and learn in ways that they may not have been able to.”

Appreciation for support of the Sailors was regularly expressed by the entire staff of the Miracle League organization.

“The service members who routinely come out are very kind to the kids and they definitely look up to them,” said Larry Thompson, president of the Miracle League. “We couldn’t do what we do as the Miracle League without ‘buddies’, and ever since the Miracle League has been here – going on 15 years strong – we’ve always had the military involved. That was one thing we felt strongly about when we began this league; the fact that we can generate an abundance of community support but also that the military has consistently been one of the strongest.”

Thompson continued on.

“The military has been a sponsor of ours since day one and not only do they sponsor us in the games, they also come out like they did tonight during a work week,” said Thompson.

“We have 14 Sailors which is remarkable when you think that as young people they could be doing whatever they want to do on base. They chose to come out here and work with us. Again, we couldn’t do what we do at the Miracle League without some of the best the best buddies we have – which come from NAS Pensacola.”

Naval Air Technical Training Center’s mission is to provide the highest quality and best trained aircraft technicians and maintainers to support Fleet operations throughout the world while taking care of their personnel, to include their families, while being good neighbors in the City of Pensacola and the surrounding region.

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer – Capt. Timothy Kinsella Jr. Public Affairs Officer – Jason J. Bortz The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher biplane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship.

The image on the right side is one of the

Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F/A18 Super Hornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students. The name “Gosport” was derived from Gosport, England (originally God’s Port), where the voice tube was invented.

The road of life: Balancing blind faith with stranger danger

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

B

efore our girls went back to college this year, we gave them the usual advice.

Don’t walk on campus at night alone, don’t take rides with strangers, etc.

I stopped short before arming them with pepper spray.

I wondered, do they really need to have their thumbs poised, ready to blind someone with pepper spray?

Or, has our culture become paranoid?

As a freshman at Miami University in tiny ivycovered Oxford, Ohio, I was utterly naïve. Violent crime seemed some far-off rarity that happened in New York City or Los Angeles.

So, when a strange man with a thick foreign accent offered me a ride when I was stranded at the Cincinnati bus station, I took it.

I was on my way back to school from my cousin’s wedding in Louisville, Kentucky. Due to some kind of mechanical failure, my bus was late arriving

in Cincinnati, causing me to miss the one daily connection to tiny Oxford.

I used my last coins at the pay phone trying to call my dorm phone to see if anyone could make the 50 mile drive to pick me up, but no one answered.

I sat in the vinyl bus station chairs and glanced around the shabby terminal.

Realizing I would have to wait for the next day’s bus, my mind raced, “I’m out of money. No one knows where I am. I have to spend the night in the bus station.

What am I going to do?”

I began to cry.

Mid sob, a thin man with a brown face and a thick Indian accent tapped me on the shoulder.

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, was a military spouse for more than 25 years. Her husband recently retired from the Navy. Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers, including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat a nd p ot a t o e s of l i fe.c o m .

“Es-cuse me, miss, can I help you?” he said.

I was so relieved to have some kind of human contact and looked up at the man with tears flowing from my eyes.

“I missed my bus back to school!” I sobbed.

He inquired where I needed to go, and after a moment of thought, offered to drive me to Oxford.

“Are you sure?” I asked.

“It takes about an hour.”

But he agreed, and I followed him out of the grungy bus station to his car – a brown Ford Fairlane sedan with no distinguishing features. The stranger closed the passenger’s seat door after I willingly got in with my backpack. I didn’t even know the way to Oxford, and could only tell him to go north. He headed out of the city on unfamiliar roads, looking for signs along the way.

Soon, the last traces of suburban sprawl were in the rear view mirror, and we were surrounded by the vast cornfields of southwestern Ohio. Not many cars on the road; no one really noticed the plain brown sedan with the foreigner and the 18-yearold girl. No one – not my roommates, my parents, my aunt in Kentucky – had any idea that I was in the middle of a cornfield, locked in an unmarked car with a strange man.

It would take hours for them to realize that I wasn’t on that Greyhound bus. The stranger had plenty of time to hide my lifeless body in a cornfield and get back to the anonymity of the city,

and his secret life as a serial killer.

But that didn’t happen.

“Thanks so much for the ride, mister,” I said to the stranger as he pulled up to my dorm. I offered to run inside and get money to pay for gas, but he politely refused, only asking me to point out the nearest fast food place.

Without the need of pepper spray, my faith in human kind was blissfully blind, and I gratefully waved farewell as the stranger pulled away.

What am I saying? Should we unlock our doors, unzip our purses and tell our teenage daughters to take up hitchhiking from city bus terminals?

Definitely not a good idea, but who wants to live with the pessimistic assumption that all strangers are dangerous? Sure, there are a few wackos out there who make it smart to carry pepper spray, but as we protect ourselves, let’s not chastise the entire human race.

Besides, without the kindness of strangers, I might still be stuck at that bus station in Ohio.

IT “A” school convenes inaugural Block 1 of Navy’s RRL Initiative

By Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station

I

nformation Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station recently convened the inaugural Information Systems Technician (IT) “A” school Block 1 learning stage of the Navy’s Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) initiative.

Block 1 is designed to be the final stage of the entry-level training delivered under a transformed training construct of the RRL pillar of Sailor 2025.

RRL focuses on providing Sailors the right training at the right time and the right way throughout their careers. RRL also focuses on a career-long learning continuum where training is delivered by modern methods to enable faster learning and better knowledge retention at multiple points throughout a career. Sailor 2025 is the Navy’s program to improve and modernize personnel management and training systems to more effectively recruit, develop, manage, reward, and retain the force of tomorrow.

Under this new construct, ITs will return to IWTC Corry Station to attend this course after serving anywhere between 18 to 24 months at their first operational command. ITs

are then awarded the 745A Navy Enlisted Classification code and will return to their command for duty. This is one of the major tenets of RRL. “This course is the culmination of years of work and countless man hours from training managers and instructional support specialists here at CIWT in conjunction with IWTC Corry Station instructors, with input from the fleet to tailor training to meet emergent requirements and get ITs to the fleet faster,” Master Chief Information Systems Technician Kevin Summers, IT training manager said.

The new course, referred to as Block 1, is 33 training days in length and focuses on Cisco Academy training associated with Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Introduction to Networking and Microsoft Academy Windows 10 training.

“I believe what makes Cisco’s CCNA course great for our

Sailors is the dedication to constantly improve the course material and delivery of the most relevant course material available,” Terri Dizon, a course instructor at IWTC Corry Station said.

Navy ITs of the 21st century operate and maintain the Navy’s global satellite telecommunications systems, mainframe computers, local and wide area networks, and microcomputer systems used in the fleet. Administrative support is also provided with the operation of automated equipment that keeps records of personnel

training, disbursement, health, assignments and promotions within the Navy.

They also maintain essential communications links between units at sea and stations ashore.

IWTC Corry Station is a part of the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT).

With four schoolhouse commands, two detachments, and training sites throughout the United States and Japan, CIWT is recognized as Naval Education and Training Command’s top learning center for the past three years.

Training more than 21,000

students every year, CIWT delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services.

CIWT also offers more than 200 courses for cryptologic technicians, intelligence specialists, information systems technicians, electronics technicians and officers in the information warfare community.

Navy’s first official Cyber Competition Team

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class William Sykes, Fleet Cyber Command/ U.S. 10th Fleet Public Affairs

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. (NNS) – U.S. 10th Fleet assembled the Navy’s first official Cyber Competition Team (CCT) to compete in cyber competitions, which are ongoing through September.

The CCT is a dedicated effort to display cyber talent and to highlight the spirit of competition, warfighting prowess and professionalism the Information Warfare Community brings to the Navy. It aims to enhance cyber skillsets, serve as a recruitment tool capture industry best practices, manifest new capabilities and highlight areas for improvement across our cyber force.

“We wanted to find the top performers when it comes to cyber security and maximize their talent by challenging them and give them access to training which makes them better,” Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Couey, CCT team lead said.

“In order to join the team, applicants had to get command approval and pass an assessment,” Couey said. “The assessment itself was influenced by looking

at other challenges that had been offered in competitions fairly recently, things that I thought would be relevant skillsets for the team moving forward and made difficult enough that we could distinguish amongst people. I was impressed with the commitment. You could clearly see the investment in time and that the interest was there in doing this kind of thing.”

The CCT comprises 15 members from across 10th Fleet. During a two-month period, team members participate in training events and attend competitions.

“The cyber competition team is a team that Warrant Couey put together with the purpose of competing in cyber competitions called Capture the Flags (CTF) which are basically puzzles and games for cyber related things such as encoding, cryptography, web exploitation, reverse engineering, forensics,” Cryptologic Technician (Networks) 2nd Class Race Wickham, assigned to Cyber Defense Activity 64 said. “We all come from different commands and have different skill sets.”

The skills that the team train on daily go beyond what the team members would normally do in their respective jobs.

“To me, it speaks to creating a culture where we aren’t

just focused on entry level talent,” Couey said. “What we are focusing on here is clearly beyond the scope of basic entry-level training. We focus on intermediate and advanced level skills. I think reinforcing that culture inside the Navy is very important because in a great power competition, when you’re facing off against nation-states, you can’t send out the rookies. You can’t send out the first-term sailors who are just getting their head around this. You need to pit expert against expert.”

The CCT are learning skills to overcome challenges from various sources. They are learning from each other, by taking courses, by interactions with subject matter experts from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and from participating in CTFs. “Being able to train on CTFs allows the team to think outside of the box,” Mika Ayenson, cyber security researcher at APL said. “These are severely difficult challenges that call for creative solutions, and can be solved in a variety of ways ... it puts them into a mindset that many of our nation-state adversaries are used to experiencing.”

Naval Hospital Pensacola to stand up Navy Medicine Readiness Training Commands as they transition to Defense Health Agency

By Marcus Henry Naval Hospital Pensacola

N

aval Hospital Pensacola (NHP), including its ten branch health clinics, will transition to the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Oct. 1.

To support the Naval Hospital Pensacola transition, Navy Medicine is establishing a co-located Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC). Navy Medicine, through the NMRTC, retains command and control of the uniformed medical force and maintains responsibility and authority for its operational readiness. This includes the medical readiness of Sailors and Marines, as well as the clinical readiness of the medical force.

T h e Pensacola b a s e d N M R T C will improve the ability of Naval Hospital Pensacola to meet the needs of operational commanders. Survivability of Navy and Marine Corps personnel in the future warfighting environment

requires a medical force that’s ready to deploy immediately and to save lives.

NMRTCs will report to Naval Medical Forces Atlantic (NMFA) and Pacific (NMFP), formerly known as Navy Medicine East and West, which in turn are accountable to the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

Capt. David Webster who assumed command of NHP July 29, will serve as both the MTF director under the DHA and the NMRTC Commanding O f f i c e r under Navy Medicine.

“NHP is excited about the transition,” Webster said. “We are committed to ensuring the operational readiness of every member of our Navy

Medicine team. We look forward to having the ability to work with other services, and the streamlining of processes that we anticipate will become less complicated in the future.”

The change in administration, management and control will be seamless to patients – service members, retirees, and family members – with little or no immediate effect on their experience of care.

“What this means to our patients is that they are still going to see the same doctors, nurses, corpsman and support staff that

K EEP IT LOCAL

they’ve always seen,” Webster said. “We look forward to continuing to serve them with the best patient-centered healthcare they can receive.”

To achieve Congress’ requirements in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, the DHA will assume administration and management of all military treatment facilities (MTFs). This transition will increase efficiency by eliminating duplication and enhancing standardization and consistency across the military services.

For the foreseeable

future, all facilities’ names will remain the same and will maintain their Navy affiliation.

While DHA will be responsible for health care delivery and business operations, Navy Medicine will retain principal responsibility for the operational readiness of the medical force.

Established in 1826, Naval Hospital Pensacola’s mission is to deliver highquality health care and to ensure a medically ready force and a ready medical force through strategic partnerships and innovation.

GOSPORT

From U.S. Department of Labor Office of Public Affairs

T

he U.S. Department of Labor has announced “The Right Talent, Right Now” as the theme for the 2019 National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).

Observed each October, NDEAM celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities and educates about the value of a workforce inclusive of their skills and talents.

The 2019 theme emphasizes the essential role that people with disabilities play in America’s economic success, especially in an era when historically low unemployment and global competition are creating a high demand for skilled talent. The Department’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) administers NDEAM. “Every day, individuals with disabilities add significant value and talent to our workforce and economy,” U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta said. “Individuals with disabilities offer employers diverse perspectives on how to tackle challenges and achieve success.

Individuals with disabilities have the right talent, right now.”

Observed annually in October, NDEAM celebrates America’s workers

with disabilities both past and present, and emphasizes the importance of inclusive policies and practices to ensure that all Americans who want to work can work, and have access to services and supports to enable them to do so. With continued advances in such supports, including accessible technology, it is easier than ever before for America’s employers to hire people with disabilities in high-demand jobs.

NDEAM traces its beginnings to 1945, when Congress declared the first week in October “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the use of the word “physically” ceased in order to include individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to NDEAM. In 2001,

Wounded veterans honored with “Day on the Bay;” See page B2 “Spotlight”

the Department established ODEP and it assumed responsibility for NDEAM, which includes annual theme selection to facilitate advanced event planning by businesses and community organizations that support the employment of people with disabilities.

NDEAM began in 1945 when Congress declared the first week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the word “physically” was dropped to acknowledge individuals with all types of disabilities.

Then, in 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to NDEAM. ODEP assumed responsibility for NDEAM when the Agency was established in 2001.

Some milestones in disability and employment: • The Smith-Fess Act (June 2, 1920): Signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson, the Smith-Fess Act (also known as the Civilian Vocational Rehabilitation Act) establishes the Vocational Rehabilitation program for Americans with disabilities. It is modeled on an earlier law that provided for the rehabilitation of World War I veterans with disabilities. At this point, only individuals with physical disabilities are eligible for services.

Gosling Games Color Me: ‘Eyes on the skies’

• Social Security Act (Aug. 14, 1935): The Social Security Act of 1935 establishes an income maintenance system for those unable to work by providing benefits to unemployed individuals and retirees. The Act also outlines assistance to aged individuals, blind individuals, and dependent and “crippled” children, and it includes provisions for maternal and child health and welfare and the permanent function of Vocational Rehabilitation services in the United States.

• Advisory Committee on Increasing Competitive Integrated Employment for Individuals with Disabilities (Jan. 5, 2015): The U.S. Department of Labor announces the public members of the Advisory Committee on Increasing Competitive Integrated Employment for Individuals with Disabilities – a key provision of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Reflecting the movement toward an “Employment First” philosophy, this committee is charged with making recommendations to the Secretary of Labor on ways to increase opportunities for competitive integrated employment for individuals with disabilities. This includes recommendations on the use of, and ways to improve oversight of, section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. For more, visit https://www.dol.gov/ featured/ada/timeline/alternative.

Wounded veterans honored with ‘Day on the Bay’ From Frank Bean

S

ome 50 wounded American veterans and their families spent a day of boating on Pensacola Bay Sept.

7, guests of the Navy Yacht Club of Pensacola, the Pensacola Yacht Club and the Florida Commodores Association who partnered to honor area wounded veterans.

The event was held at the Pensacola Yacht Club.

The Wounded American Veteran Event, (WAVE), is a boating day where volunteers provided some 19 sail and motor boats to give cruises to Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who have been injured or disabled while serving in the armed forces.

The featured speaker was commander of the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad. Last year Cozad arrived at the WAVE event in a wheelchair. This year he walked in and shared his story of progress with the assembly of wounded

American veterans and their families.

“Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do, demonstrate what you can do,” Cozad told the group. “Live your life in this spirit, I will never quit. If knocked down, I will get up every time. I will draw on every ounce of my strength. I am never out of the fight.”

Following his address, the wounded veterans and their guests were given a ride on a power boat or sailing vessel on Pensacola Bay. Following their “day on the bay” they returned to the Pensacola Yacht Club for lunch and musical entertainment.

“This is a simple ‘thank you’ for the

sacrifice of the veterans and their families, who also served,” Kathy Champagne, the committee chairman said.

Nearly 25 young service men and women of Marine Aviation Training Support Group Two and the Naval Aviation Technical Training Center assisted as “Boat Buddies,” helping the wounded veterans and their families and friends on and off the boats. Also assisting the wounded veterans were 15 Cadets

from the local Civil Air Patrol squadron. NAS Pensacola Corry Station provided the color guard and vocalist who sang the National Anthem.

Originated by Navy Yacht Club Pensacola, and joined by Pensacola Yacht Club, Pensacola Beach Yacht Club, Fort Walton Yacht Club, Eglin Yacht Club and Point Yacht Club, WAVE 2012 was the first of what has become an annual event.

WAVE is a private, all-volunteer initiative to honor the nation’s disabled veterans.

40th annual Seafood Festival

Along with wonderful seafood, the annual Seafood Festival includes a large array of art vendors.

Story, photo From Visit Pensacola The annual Pensacola Seafood Festival takes over Seville Square, Fountain Park and waterfront Bartram Park in Historic Downtown Pensacola each fall, attracting more than 100,000 attendees during the three-day event that takes place the last weekend in September. This year, the festival will take place starting today, Sept. 27 and will run until Sept. 29.

From fried mullet – a local delicacy – to our worldfamous shrimp and grits, Pensacola’s seafood is some of the best in the world. Not only is it fresh from the Gulf, but it also has the benefit of the area’s wide range of culinary influences, from traditional southern and Cajun to the area’s French and Spanish flavors to the international flair brought to the area by our globe-trotting military population. And we don’t mind mashing them up for the perfect, unexpected culture combination that leaves the mouth both speechless and watering.

At the festival, you’ll find local seafood favorites prepared in a variety of ways by our top restaurants, live cooking demonstrations, traditional festival fare from the nation’s top vendors, arts and crafts vendors and live music.

The Fiesta Seafood Grill, presented by Pensacola Energy, features cooking demonstrations by local celebrity chefs. Visitors can stop by Fountain Park to hear their cooking secrets as they prepare their favorite cuisine with an emphasis on fresh, local seafood.

The Pensacola Seafood Festival is also one of the largest arts and crafts fairs in Northwest Florida, with more than 130 vendors. Live musical performances by local and regional acts will be held throughout the family-friendly weekend. Admission to the festival is free.

Additionally, the children’s area, located in Bartram Park, will feature fun activities for children of all ages to enjoy including arts and crafts, Water Walkers and face painting. Kids can learn more about our Gulf environment through the festival’s marine life educational program. With the help of local educators and Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory, the Seafood Festival will offer a variety of free touch pools for children and families to experience live sea creatures for the ultimate hands-on experience.

So if you are a fish fanatic, crab crazy or enjoy shrimp any way they can make it, plan a trip to the Pensacola Seafood Festival and get more than a bellyful of the best of the Gulf Coast’s seafood in one easy stop.
