The Escambia County Tourist Development Council is considering a multi-year funding commitment for the Foiling Week Pensacola Event. This event, proposed by Foiling Events US, Inc., would receive $375,000 annually from Tourist Development Tax funds for three years, starting in 2027 and continuing through 2029. The funding is planned to come from the Tourist Development Tax Fund. This item is currently under review, with a recommendation for confirmation of support. If approved, the event would likely involve site preparation, event setup, and ongoing operational support. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out to Foiling Events US, Inc. or relevant county departments to learn more about potential opportunities as planning progresses, as early engagement can provide an advantage before final bids and permits are established.
