Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival

The Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival is one of the best-regarded, most popular arts festivals in the United States. The three-day, juried art show draws more than 200 of the nation's best painters, potters, sculptors, jewelers, graphic artists, craftsmen and other artists. The committee has looked at every possible option to continue safely, but it’s simply not viable to hold the Festival we love safely in the foreseeable situation. Since its beginning in 1973, the GGAF has been canceled only .. continue reading once before — in 2004, when Hurricane Ivan devastated the Pensacola area five weeks before the Festival was to be held. The Festival is ranked #9 in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine. Live musicians hit the right notes from the Main Stage with sounds ranging from bluegrass to Cajun and blues to jazz and classical. Craft artists demonstrate traditional arts, crafts and trades, including blacksmithing, engraving, spinning, weaving and other skills in the Heritage Arts Area.
