I’ve driven by the old sign so many times after having wild beer bashes on the beach, I’d love to flip the switch on the new one. Might even be sober for that great honor!
Bet it won’t have the ‘Worlds Whitest Beaches” sign on the new one.
Dude, LED light show sign me up!
I’ve been in pensacola for 62 years I’ve seen it grow at first hand enjoyed going to the beach back when there were only a handful of people. Then to the chicken box drive in later and on to the ranch drive inn . good luck to everyone.
I’m a newer resident to Pensacola, having moved here as year and a half ago. I would enjoy the opportunity to participate in this community event, and thus really feel a part of Escambia C inounty.
There has always been so much excitement associated with the fish. I’ve lived here since 1963 and I have always look for the fish when it’s lit it is absolutely gorgeous! All that come love the Pensacola Beach fish. I have it in a painting ,shirt and Christmas ornament.
I moved here 2 years ago and have been in love with this city and it’s beach from the second I arrived. I recently had my first child here 1 year ago, and I couldn’t imagine her being born anywhere else! I would be so thrilled if she could switch the sign on!!
Why do you need to be an Escambia County resident when the sign is in Santa Rosa County? Just curious.
The sign was lit up last night so why do they say the winner will light it up for the first time?
As a child this was a sign that I understood We were getting closer to the beach! Lived in Guntersville Al. Beautiful
I was born here and moved to Oklahoma. Moved back to wonderful Pensacola to restart my life healthy and clean. This would be a awesome start to my new journey in life.
I have lived here all my life. Born and raised in Pensacola. Graduated from Washington in 1977. Former president of IBEW local 676 here in Pensacola. Grew up on Pensacola Beach camping fishing and surfing there. Would be a thrill to flip the switch.
I live 2 miles from the sign which is Santa Rosa county. I’m hoping we can enter as well. I’m going to miss the old sign. It’s such a part of history.
Thank you for allowing ME to flip that switch!
The new sign looks great. Would love to be the first to flip the switch to light it up.
My family and I have been coming to Pensacola Beach for the last 35 years to watch your famous blue Angel show in July. This has become a family tradition and we do it every single year. We love the neon sign and do believe the new LED sign is going to be awesome along with the new bridge addition you have just completed. One day we would love to retire and live on Pensacola Beach.
I would love to flip the switch on the sign. I have lived in Pensacola for over 40 years. It would be an honor.
A beautiful part of pensacola history
Been a part of this wonderful community for the last 2 years couldn’t see myself living anywhere else would love the chance to be able to do this
Remember the Fiesta of Five Flags Treasure Hunts
Am a 2nd time transplant; served here in the Navy and fell in love. Now semi/retired and living my dream. My love of genealogy and my native born husband keep me here. Would love to light the sign, representing the new mixed with native life here.
Beautiful sign
Lights on
I am not a native. I have been vacationing in Pensacola since 1971. Moved here permanently in 1993 and live full time on the. We love the new sign and hope that it will be a beacon to all that come. “Thousands live where millions wish they could”.
To quote Mayor Vince Wibbs.

I have been born and raised here all my life. All 46 years of it. I live the Pensacola Beach sign.
Thank you
It looks great!
I have moved to Pensacola in 1998 from the Czech Republic. I have become a US citizen in 2005. Pensacola beach has always been a very big part of what i really like about this area. I have brought many guests and tourists here and they all love it and keep coming back. It would be my honor to light up the sign!
Pensacola native always loved this icon sign.
I bet the old sign would bring enough at auction to pay for new sign.
Would love to be part of this!! The one who turns on the light would be awesome!!!
Can’t wait to see the new sign! My 3rd one since I’ve lived here!
I love the old sign lite up so I’m sure everyone will love the new sign even more.
Some people dont have a life…and never will
