The Pensacola Symphony plays Music for Families, a 50-minute concert built around James Stephenson's "Once Upon a Symphony," which follows a girl named Sally and her grandfather on a journey told through music and visuals. Afterward, children can try instruments at an instrument petting zoo and visit activity tables run by Blues Angel Music, Brush and Sketch Art Studio, the Pensacola Children's Museum, the Pensacola MESS Hall and West Florida Public Libraries. Tickets cost the same for adults and children, and children 3 and younger get in free.
