Any region that has more than one sausage festival is just plain festival crazy. But that's us. We've got the Elberta German Sausage Festival, the Beulah Sausage Festival, the Hadji Shrine Spring Sausage Festival honoring sausage.
Most festivals are outdoors and require a lot of walking.
Pick footwear for comfort, not style. More an Independence Day celebration than a true festival, Pensacola's downtown festival always cranks up the noise and lights up the sky. You'll hear local musicians perform patriotic tunes, hear patriotic speeches and see fireworks at the end. This is quickly becoming a major summer beach festival. Sept. 24-26, Seville Square.
