The sun continues to smile down upon the sands of Pensacola Beach, eager to hear the lineup on the third day of the inaugural DeLuna Fest.
The crowd this morning didn't appear as large as the early morning crowd Saturday.
But Sunday's 11 a.m. DeLuna Fest visitors were
Wesley Cunningham's top pick for today is Dew Pendleton, who plays on the GoPensacola.com Stage at 1:15 p.m.
"That's the only band I have to see today," Cunningham, 23, of Pensacola said. "That's why I came today."
Cunningham and friend Alana Smith came for all three days of DeLuna Fest.
Smith and Cunningham both agreed, Thirty Seconds to Mars was their favorite show on Saturday.
"It was beautiful; when they started pulling people on stage, it was awesome," Cunningham said of the sunset-drenched show.
This morning Lucas Crutchfield played for a crowd of hundreds on the GoPensacola.com Stage, and gospel music flowed from the main stages on Casino Beach.
DeLuna Fest had about 50,000 free Sunday tickets to give away. By 11 a.m. there were still about 5,000 tickets available at the gate.
And if you're on your way, remember no coolers, umbrellas or food can be brought into the festival.
Less than two hours before gates opened for the final day of DeLuna Fest, festival organizers announced that about 5,000 free tickets for the day would be available at the gates when they open at 11 a.m.
All tickets for Sunday were free thanks to a grant from the Tourism Development Council. Fifty thousand tickets were made available for Sunday's lineup, headlined by American icon Willie Nelson and featuring more than a dozen artists, including Galactic, Cowboy Mouth, Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers.
Festival organizers this morning teased that a "big announcement" would be made tonight on the Bud Light Stage, just before Willie Nelson begins his set at 8.
