Fiesta Sand Sculpture Contest
HISTORY: The Fiesta of Five Flags is an annual celebration of the founding of Pensacola. In 1559, Spanish Conquistador, Don Tristan de Luna, established Pensacola as the first European settlement in the United States. Since that time five different flags have flown over the City: Spanish, French, British, Confederate, and American. This 10-day festival is one of the oldest and largest heritage festivals in the State of Florida.

Throughout the 59 years of the Fiesta's history, the mission has remained the same- "to celebrate our heritage, promote tourism and build pride in Pensacola through festive activities which enhances the quality of life in our Community." Today Fiesta mobilizes community support for its year-round events, contributes funds to the promotion of Pensacola's history, while providing exciting entertainment and events for the entire community to enjoy!
