JAZZ FOR JUSTICE 2025: MUSIC WITH MEANING

IN DOWNTOWN PENSACOLA, FEATURING NEW ORLEANS’ PRESERVATION HALL BRASS BAND

Get ready for another unforgettable celebration where music and community come together. Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) is proud to host Jazz for Justice once more on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Museum Plaza, 120 Church St., in the heart of Downtown Pensacola.

Admission is free.

Made possible by the Pensacola Foo Foo Festival, Jazz for Justice brings the best of New Orleans and Pensacola jazz to the stage. Attendees will experience worldclass jazz performances, delicious food from local restaurants and food trucks, engaging vendors, and family-friendly activities, all while supporting free civil legal help for those most in need across North Florida.

A Showcase of Brass and Jazz

This year’s Jazz for Justice lineup is tuned to perfection, with an afternoon that swings from smooth grooves to high-energy brass explosions.

Kicking things off is a hometown favorite, Whiskey and Water (Pensacola), whose sound flows as effortlessly as their name. With silky jazz vocals poured over Louisiana blues, a splash of reggae, and a kick of Southern rock guitar, they strike the perfect chord to get the crowd swaying.

Keeping the music alive, Bon Bon Vivant (New Orleans) turns up the tempo with a performance that’s equal parts spectacle and soul. Blending indie grit, Americana heart, and that unmistakable Crescent City flair, frontwoman Abigail Cosio and saxophonist Jeremy Kelley craft songs that dance between revelry and reflection, proof that their music is as much storytelling as it is rhythm.

Bringing it all home with a crescendo, the legendary Preservation Hall Brass Band (New Orleans) takes the stage as the event’s headlining act. This all-star brass ensemble, led by trumpeter Mark Braud, carries the torch of New Orleans’ musical heritage. From timeless parade anthems to spirituals

and classic jazz standards, their sound is the heartbeat of the Big Easy, and it’s guaranteed to bring the crowd to its feet.

Family-Friendly Fun

Jazz for Justice offers more than music; it’s a true community event. Families can enjoy interactive science activities from the Pensacola MESS Hall, games, and more. Bring kids, grandparents, for an afternoon that feels like a neighborhood block party with worldclass music. Spread out a blanket, set up lawn chairs, and let the little ones dance in the grass while relaxing under the autumn sky. Jazz for Justice makes it easy to enjoy good food, great music, and quality time together in the heart of Downtown Pensacola.

Legal Services of North Florida

Jazz for Justice is not just about great music; it’s about making a difference. Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) provides free civil legal help to low-income individuals and families across 16 counties, handling nearly 8,000 cases each year that impact more than 20,000 lives. Attendance and support ensure LSNF can provide civil legal aid to low-income individuals and families at no cost. With a commitment to justice and equity, LSNF strives to break down barriers and empower communities through legal advocacy and support.

The annual Pensacola Foo Foo Festival event series is produced by Art, Culture, and Entertainment, Inc. (ACE), taking place Oct. 30, 2025, through Nov. 10, 2025.

SOUTHWEST ESCAMBIA SPORTS COMPLEX RECOGNIZED AS A STEWARDSHIP FOREST BY FLORIDA FOREST SERVICE

The Southwest Escambia Sports Complex has been recognized as a Stewardship Forest by the Florida Forest Service for recent improvements made by the Escambia County Natural Resources Conservation Division.

The Forest Stewardship Program, administered by the Florida Forest Service, is a voluntary program designed to encourage beneficial management practices on private, non-working forest lands. The Forest Stewardship Program recognizes owners who have improved and maintained vibrant forest resources, including timber, wildlife, soil and water quality, recreational and aesthetic value and forage resources. On occasion, government forest lands may be accepted into the program as “demonstration forests,” used to educate landowners of proper land management practices.

The Southwest Escambia Sports Complex is comprised of approximately 112 acres of forested conservation lands managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Division

and is part of the Florida Greenways and Trails System. Recent management activities have included planting of endangered White Topped Pitcher Plants, invasive plant removal, installation of educational signage and duck boxes, and forestry mulching. Future plans for the conservation lands include additional trail amenities and routine prescribed burns. Prescribed burns keep the understory open to allow grasses and other small plants, such as wiregrass and pitcher plants, to dominate the landscape. Ash keeps the soil fertile and encourages new plant growth in the spring. By reducing fuel loads and keeping the understory clear, land managers reduce the chances of a larger, more dangerous wildfire.

The Southwest Escambia Sports Complex is located at 2020 Bauer Road. The nature trail is open to the public daily from sunrise to sunset and can be accessed from several locations within the park. Please see the trail map for details.

Another way to support PCC and its mission is by becoming a Sponsor. With multiple levels to choose from and varying degrees of benefits, there are numerous options for you or your business to consider. Also this season, PCC plans to unveil a new way to support its mission through the “Sustainer” level of monthly giving that will help support families with less expendable income. There have never been more ways to support PCC and its growing mission!

PCC is committed to increasing accessibility to its life-changing arts education program, especially when it pertains to certain financial barriers. “We are firmly committed to creating a path for all singers, regardless of financial circumstances, to participate in our program,” Alex Gartner, Artistic & Executive Director, said.

PCC partners with the Escambia Children’s Trust (ECT) to provide free tuition and other benefits to singers who may not have otherwise joined its program. Another program designed to extend affordable choral opportunities to the community makes its return. PCC and the City of Pensacola bring Pensacola Sings to the city’s neighborhood resource centers, with a free performance on December 11 generously hosted by the Pensacola Saenger Theatre.

Finally, PCC announced earlier this year that it has become a direct service provider for Step Up for Students, a Florida nonprofit that empowers families with scholarships and educational resources to give children access to learning options that best fit their needs. PCC families can now utilize their Personalized Education Program (PEP) to cover the cost of tuition. There have truly never been more opportunities for singers to join PCC.

Pensacola appears twice in this year’s coverage:

• The 2025 Bright Ideas List – featuring 25 global destinations and innovations that inspire the future of travel.

MAYOR D.C. REEVES ANNOUNCES NEW SENIOR PARKING PERMIT AND RESIDENT DISCOUNT PROGRAM FOR CITY RESIDENTS

The City of Pensacola is excited to announce the launch of two new parking options designed to better serve city residents: a Senior Parking Permit and a Resident Discount Program, both available beginning Wednesday, Oct. 1. These initiatives are part of the mayor’s ongoing efforts to improve parking accessibility and affordability while upgrading the city’s permit technology.

“We’re committed to creating a parking system that works for everyone,” Mayor D.C. Reeves said. “These new programs are about supporting our residents and seniors, while making it easier and more affordable for them to enjoy everything our city has to offer.”

The city is upgrading its parking permit technology to deliver a more user-friendly, efficient, and convenient experience for both current permit holders and new users.

As part of these improvements, two new programs have been created exclusively for city residents:

• SeniorPass – New!

Discounted parking for senior residents of the City of Pensacola Resident Discount Program – New! 50%

off standard parking rates for City of Pensacola residents

In addition, the updated system will continue to offer a variety of parking permit options, including:

• StreetPass AM –

On-street day parking permit

• StreetPass PM –On-street night parking permit

• JeffersonPass –Jefferson Street Garage permit

• LotPass – Designated parking lot permit

• BoatPass – Boat ramp parking permit

These updates are designed to make parking more accessible and affordable, while providing flexible options to meet the diverse needs of Pensacola residents.

These new programs aim to provide affordable parking solutions and greater flexibility for residents. All permits are limited and subject to availability, so residents are encouraged to apply early.

The updated permit system will make it easier for residents to purchase and manage permits online, reducing wait times and simplifying the overall process.
