Pensacola Interstate Fair

Pensacola Interstate Fair Where Memories Are Made! Eleven great nights of entertainment, food, rides and fun for the whole family. The Fair officially began with John E.
(3369)

Since its inception in 1935, the Pensacola Interstate Fair has opened its doors to the public every October to bring some magic and fun to the Pensacola community. From a small tent with limited livestock to a highly anticipated event every year, the Frenkel’s family history and passion for this town are closely intertwined with this event. Frenkel, Sr., his wife Lillian and 30 Fair members. Over

the years, the Pensacola Interstate Fair has become one of the finest and largest fairs in the United States with a staff of eight and more than 400 volunteers. Many volunteers belong to local clubs and serve to showcase a wonderful array of exhibits. There is nothing like a fair. It brings to Pensacola a stimulating, satisfying, stirring, sparkling celebration of education, information and fun entertainment. The Pensacola Interstate Fair receives praise locally and throughout the country and recently has been selected as one of Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Events for the month of October. The best events across the Southeast compete to receive the prestigious Top 20 designation. We are eminently proud to be a part of the economy and growth of Pensacola year after year…and proud to say, “The Fair is good for Pensacola.”

The Management staff includes:

Jamie McDonald - General Manager
Dondi Frenkel - Public Relations and Concessions Manager

🎡 Fair Friends Helping Fair Friends 🎡

Out of an abundance of caution, the Pensacola Interstate Fair closed a day early due to forecasted thunderstorms and unsafe weather conditions.

We’re incredibly grateful to our friends at the Greater Gulf State Fair in Mobile for their generosity — they are offering to honor any unused online admission tickets from the 2025 Pensacola Interstate Fair.

The Greater Gulf State Fair is also closed today (Sunday) due to the weather but will continue through next Sunday, November 2.

If you’d like to attend, skip the ticket booth and head straight to the front gate where the turnstiles are. Please note: tickets must be printed out — mobile tickets will not be accepted.

Thank you, Pensacola, for an amazing 90th anniversary year, and thank you to our neighboring fair family for this wonderful gesture of kindness and community spirit. 💙🎠
