DeLuna Fest organizers have promised that the second festival will be bigger and better than the inaugural event. The 2011 edition is being described as the country’s “first resort destination music festival” with lodging available at three on-site beachfront resort hotels including The Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach, The Hilton Pensacola Beach and the Holiday Inn Resort Pensacola Beach.
Instead of two stages, the festival will now feature six. The event will also include DJs spinning poolside, a jazz and blues tent, and nightly club parties in venues along the shore.
Advanced tickets are on sale now for $149.95. VIP Weekend Passes are available for $800, plus applicable taxes and fees. VIP perks includes access to premium viewing areas, after parties, the VIP Oct. 13 kick-off party, and all VIP lounges in festival hotels.
