Now that we're in the thick of it, each afternoon, we're going to break down the next day.
First up is Thursday, July 10, 2025: Thursday has no civilian acts and is just a Blue Angels Demo at 2:00 PM, centered at Pensacola Beach Pier.
QUESTIONS WE'VE SEEN TODAY:
Where is the best place to watch? Beach Near the Pier.
Can I watch from on the pier? No, kind of. They clear the pier from the waterline-out, from 1:00 PM-3:30 PM.
Can I be in the water while they fly? No, FAA requires the water to be cleared near the show box.
Can I watch from a boat? Yes. Gulf Side, stay behind (south) of the Coast Guard vessels. Bayside, you'll see the other boats. Be aware that it will be crowded, you aren't the first one to have that idea.
What time do I need to get there? As we state in this graphic, in 2024, the main parking lot filled by 10:04 AM then cars were diverted to Park East and Park West with spectators being shuttled to the center point.
Can tomorrow's practice be watched form the museum? NO! ONLY FROM THE BEACH. Do not go to the Air Museum, the Lighthouse, Fort Pickens, or Target on Blue Angel Parkway! You're going to be really hot and really disappointed in yourself.
Is there a radio station or scanner frequencies to listen in on? YEP, review our graphics!
What are the dates for the 2026 show? July 15-18, 2026.
When can I book a hotel for next year's show? September 2025. (The answer of 1 year out is false, hotels don't have next year's show dates open for booking yet, they aren't "sold out" as their website states.)
Please read all of our graphics before asking a question. Every single question being asked this morning has already been asked and answered. A lot of time has been invested creating easy-to-understand slides, please be respectful of our volunteer time and review. Be sure to visit "The Hangar", our digital library, and explore all of our graphics so that you can read, plan, and enjoy!
