The fall season has an abundance of fun things to do for the entire family. I constantly see Segway Tours in the downtown Pensacola area. One of the fun Segway offerings from Emerald Coast Tours is the Haunted History Tour which runs thru Halloween. This one hour tour showcases Haunted Downtown Pensacola. Be thrilled and chilled by the tour guides as they share the most macabre side of Pensacola History. You can contact Emerald Coast Tours at 850-417-9292 for details.
As long as you are here for Halloween, you should treat yourself to the Pensacola Little Theatre's rendition of The Rocky Horror Show. Always a crowd pleaser, this show runs thru November 5th. PLT invites you to do the Time Warp; you can dress up as your favorite character, and shout out comeback lines. Pensacola Little Theatre is the oldest continually operating community theater in the Southeastern United States. www.pensacolalittletheatre.com
Perdido Key is home to the 32st Annual Frank Brown Songwriters Festival.

You can enjoy the beaches, seafood and eleven days of original music. Admission is free at many venues, but some may ask for a small cover charge. Call 850-492-7664 for more information.
