Description

Dear Potential Vendor,

Thank you for inquiring and showing an interest in this great annual celebration in the 2026 Pensacola Mardi Gras Season! We consider vendors as important to this event as the entertainment. Vendors add to our event and give back to us with the merchandise sold to our community. Our intent is to keep the quality of vendors at a very high level.

We hope you will be a part of this fabulous celebration this year. The past years of this event have had an impressive turnout and with the expanding footprint of the 2026 Krewe of Blues Pin & Bead Festival, we look forward to another amazing Mardi Gras Event.

With an estimated attendance of 1,000 people to the 2025 Krewe of Blues Pin & Bead Festival, we can only hope with the new attractions / events we will have an even bigger and better Mardi Gras event.

***We are moving locations this year due to running out of room in Seville Square Park! It is bitter sweet moving but it is for a good reason, the Festival is growing!!!

If you are interested in participating in the event – and we sincerely hope that you are – please fill out the attached vendor application and send it in. Please read it carefully.

Hope to see you at the 15th Annual Krewe of Blues Pin & Bead Festival on Sunday January 18, 2026!

Sincerely,

Krewe of Blues

Thank you once again for your service to our community!
