The Jay Peanut Festival is held every year at the Gabbert FarmThe Jay Peanut Festival is a yearly event that attracts thousands of people. It is held at the Gabbert Family Farm in Jay, Florida. I'll give directions later, it is in northern Santa Rosa County. The festival is held at the Gabbert Farm, 4.5 miles south of Jay off Highway 89 at Pine Level Church Rd, 50 miles north of Pensacola. This year it will be on October 1 & 2.
There are many interesting things to do there. This includes Cow Patty Bingo, horse rides, antiques, farm museum, food, peanuts—green boiled, baked goods, restored antique farm equipment, sugar cane mill, pig chase, bubble gum contest, kiddie pedal tractor pull, wagon ride, hay ride, pony & train rides, bluegrass, country & gospel music.
For those who don't know what cow patty bingo is, let me explain. They draw squares on the grass in the cow pen. The cow wanders around the pen on its own. If the cow takes a dump in your square, which you pay for, then you win.
There will be food a plenty, hamburgers, Bar-B-Que, kettle corn, roasted corn, apple dumplings, and peanuts for sure. This year there were plenty of green peanuts and boiled peanuts as well as fried, roasted and candied peanuts.

Pensacola, FL: Don’t miss the boat! Plaza de Luna Park at Palafox Pier is the place to be on March 10-11, 2012, The City of Pensacola will host the 1st annual Maritime Festival. The festival will celebrate Pensacola’s maritime history, past, present and future.

The barquentine rig Peacemaker has plans to be in port during the festival offering guided tours for donations. The Peacemaker, first launched in 1989 as the Avany, was built on a riverbank in southern Brazil using traditional methods and the finest tropical hardwoods. The ship is now a seagoing representation of the life of peace and unity that the twelve tribes are living on land in many communities around the world. She provides apprenticeship opportunities for youth to learn many valuable and practical skills, not only in rigging, sail-making, sailing, navigation, marine mechanics and carpentry, but also in living and working together in tight quarters, as well as many cross-cultural experiences traveling from port to port.
Plaza de Luna Park, named after Don Tristan de Luna, the Spanish explorer who established Pensacola in 1559, is easily accessible with plenty of convenient no-pay parking nearby and beautiful views of Pensacola Bay.
