NEWS RELEASE — Climb aboard a trolley in June for a tongue-in-cheek tour that will bring you face-to-face with pirates, mermaids, monsters and other characters full of family-friendly fun.

The Blood Red Trolley will run at 6:30 p.m. June 13 and June 27. It departs from the Visitor Information Center at the foot of the Pensacola Bay Bridge and returns there 90 minutes later.

It showcases local actors performing “The Curse of Don Tristan de Tuna,” a lighthearted spoof that celebrates a cockeyed view of Pensacola history and treachery on the high seas.

Wear your pirate togs if you want to blend in with the cast of swashbucklers, buccaneers and mateys.

You can board the trolley at the Pensacola Visitor Information Center, 1401 E. Gregory St., at the foot of the three-mile bridge.

Tickets cost $5 for children, $20 for adults.

The pirate trolley also will operate July 11, July 25, Aug. 8, Aug. 22, and Sept. 5.

The pirate trolley is part of Winterfest of Pensacola, which holds a children’s parade and other family-oriented events at Christmas.
