Fine Wine & Cuisine: Italian Trattoria
    Somebody once said, “The trouble with eating Italian food is that 5 or 6 days later you’re hungry again. Make it 10 days, if you experience a real Italian Trattoria. ” Well, our chef will treat you to an Italian Trattoria menu inside the DK culinary theater! Wonder what’s on the menu: Maybe a taste of pasta with bolognese sauce, bistecca ai ferri, mixed salad and, no doubt, Italian wines. Aren’t you hungry already? See you at the Trattoria class at DK with your friends!

Pensacola Celebrates 450 Years!
    The public is invited to a kick-off celebration on May 23 at 5 p.m. The street party will be held on Palafox Place surrounding the fountain at the Escambia County Courthouse.

    Spanish sailor Don Tristan de Luna arrived in Pensacola on August 15, 1559.

    Pensacola is throwing one of the longest parties in history to celebrate having the longest history in North America.
    To commemorate its 450th anniversary, Pensacola will celebrate for 450 days from May 23, 2008 to August 15, 2009. Pensacola was founded in 1559, six years before St. Augustine. The 450th celebration will culminate on August 15, 2009 with a national birthday celebration.

    The public is invited to a kick-off celebration on May 23 at 5 p.m. The street party will be held on Palafox Place surrounding the fountain at the Escambia County Courthouse. The all-American event will feature free hot dogs, Coca- Cola and music by the Pensacola Civic Band, and Celebrate Pensacola will unveil its plans for the 450-day celebration.

    In addition, the signature 450th poster will be unveiled, and Jay Clune and Margo Stringfield will discuss their new book Historic Pensacola. Attending dignitaries representing Spain include Santiago Cabanas, consul general of Spain in the United States, and Maria Davis, honorary vice consul of Spain.

    Spanish sailor Don Tristan de Luna arrived in Pensacola on August 15, 1559. Shortly after establishing the settlement, a hurricane destroyed supplies, eventually causing the Spanish to flee the area and not return until the 1600s. In 1698, Fort San Carlos de Austria became the first permanent settlement in Northwest Florida. Remains of the fort can be found at Pensacola Naval Air Station. Pensacola is proud of its rich heritage, historically significant events and landmarks.
