A Colorful Dream Come to Light

Pensacola Lights began years ago when Dennis Johnson and his wife had their entire family at Thanksgiving Day dinner at their house. They had over 30 guests that year, so they decided to "go all out" and put up 5,000 Christmas lights to get everyone in the holiday spirit. The family really enjoyed the display, so they immediately started to plan how to make it even more exciting for the following Thanksgiving Day gathering.

 

Since then, Pensacola Lights took on a life of its own as it continued to grow and evolve into a display featuring over 75,000 lights. It turned into a year-round avocation incorporating Mr. Johnson’s varied interests in art, music, electronics, computers, engineering, design, carpentry, and electrical wiring.

In 2011, Pensacola Lights was moved to the offices of the Certified Public Accounting firm of Brown Thornton Pacenta & Company, P.A. in Downtown Pensacola.

 

Brown Thornton Pacenta & Company has had its own Christmas light display for over a decade.  During this time, their office site has served as the “Grinch” stop on the downtown Winterfest trolley tour. 

Pensacola Lights is now Brown Thornton Pacenta’s holiday gift to our community.

 

We believe in the family and establishing holiday traditions that will be remembered by our children. We hope that you will make a visit to Pensacola Lights a holiday tradition for your family as well!


Merry Christmas from your friends at :
