Winterfest tours and performances light up beautiful Downtown Pensacola from Historic Seville to the Palafox Business District.

Four exciting holiday tours include a special Santa's Express Tour the week before Christmas that's great for young children, and the flagship Performance Tour which features 16 fun stops with your favorite holiday characters.

The following is a list of Winterfest activities:

 Rudolph’s Revue: In 2009, Rudolph's Revue is coming back with a big new musical show twice a night in Plaza Wonderland. Bringing joy to the Plaza with gospel singers, traditional holiday tunes, and even more great dancing, this free event is a must for your family holiday plans.
