Panama City Beach’s Must-Attend Events of February

Gear up for a wild ride at the 24th Annual Mardi Gras 5K Run/Fitness Walk and 1-Mile Family Fun Run/Walk, taking over Frank Brown Park! Kick-off is at 8 a.m., but the party starts at 6:30 a.m. with registration and packet pick-u. Secure your spot with early bird rates – $30.00 for adults 17 & up and $25.00 for children 16 & under, with prices increasing for late registrations. Opt for a NO T-shirt option for $25.00 on race day, and remember, it’s all for a good cause – a portion of the proceeds supports WWII Honor Flights, ensuring our veterans visit the memorials in Washington DC.

Your lunch break just got a whole lot more melodic! Discover the rhythm of Panama City at City Hall on February 1st at 12:12pm, as the PCSO’s “Symphony in the City” concert takes center stage. Admission is on the house, and they’ve got light snacks and refreshments to keep you fueled.

This is your golden ticket to an unforgettable Mardi Gras celebration! The Krewe of St. Andrews invites everyone to join in the Mardi Gras Season with 3 days of parades, lots of beads, food, music, vendors and FUN!

Secure a table for 8 with 40 drink tickets, complimentary event medallions, a catered lunch, and a prime viewing spot on the parade route. Single tickets offer 2 drink tickets, a private bar, event medallions, and exclusive viewing on Beck Avenue. VIP sells out fast, having done so for the past seven years.
