30th Gulf Breeze festival of the arts

  

The city of Gulf Breeze and Gulf Breeze Arts, Inc. are proud to host the 30th Annual Gulf Breeze Celebrates of the Arts Festival to be held on March 28 and 29, 2026 in Gulf Breeze, Florida. This two day event is a staple for the city of Gulf Breeze, which is a beautiful little city located between Pensacola and Pensacola Beach, just a short drive from the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. 


Celebrating our 30th Festival of the Arts is exciting, as we host 100+ local, regional, and national fine artists, food vendors, a Local Artists Art Show, a Silent Auction as well as live artist demonstrations, children's activities and a great Student Show. 


Proceeds go to local school art programs for supplies. We also support an endowed scholarship fund at Pensacola State College and have also supported the Band, Drama, Choral, and JROTC programs.  As of 2026, GBAI has donated over $160,000. We would be unable to do this without the participation of our artists, such as yourself, so thank you for your participation and support.
