It’s Official! Eleven Parties, Ten DJ’s, Five Days

The word is given! It’s official! Eleven Parties, Ten DJ’s, Five Days … Memorial Day Weekend in Pensacola, Florida keeps getting bigger and better every year! The 2005 Memorial Day Circuit Party Weekend, presented by Johnny Chisholm and Oz, will be overloaded with world-class DJs, shining new venues and the most vibrant entertainment and talent just for you!

The weekend officially kicks off Thurs., May 26, at an all new, totally remodeled, redecorated and re-arranged Emerald City nightclub hosting Foreplay, the opening party of the weekend. One of the south’s newest spinning sensations DJ Jay-R is back to get you started dancing the moment the doors open!

For those of you who have been here before, the exciting new changes begin Friday afternoon. Bounce, the ever-popular poolside T-Dance has a new home. This year, the Hilton Garden Inn (the official host hotel) is proud to welcome you to their facility for this event! Bounce 1 starts at 4pm, and ends at 8pm. The amazing Tracy Young will set the mood for the entire weekend while you enjoy the sunset and seeing your old friends from years past, while you meet some new ones.

Emerald City isn’t the only remix of the weekend, the Friday night beach party has also been remade! WAVE, the beach party, has been moved and renamed this year while repairs are being made to its traditional location. This year, HURRICANE hits the beach in front of the Hilton Garden Inn from 10pm to 3am. The perky Kimberly S. is your mixmistress of the evening and she’ll have you groovin’ to the music all night. WAVE will be back in 2006!

Sat., May 28 will be a busy, busy day for everyone in attendance. The natural raw talent of DJ Alyson Calagna will greet you poolside at the Hilton Garden Inn for Bounce 2 from 4pm to 8pm, then you’ll have just enough time to head back to your rooms to get ready for SWEAT or FORIDDEN I. Emerald City the shining new jewel of the coast invites you to SWEAT with DJ Roland Belmares. And for the ladies (the guys can go too!) DJ Mary Pappas leads the action at FORBIDDEN I, the Saturday girl party at this year’s location Flounders on the Beach. You’re not done yet! Atlanta-based DJ David Knapp is champion of the turntables at SPELLBOUND I, the first after-hours party of the weekend. Head over to The Annex from 3am to 9am for this all-night dance party.

Now in its eleventh year, ABRACADABRA will take over the Pensacola Civic Center for the true grand-daddy of all circuit parties. Manny Lehman will be blazing as he spins for you from 10pm to 4am in this massive venue. Ladies, we haven’t left you out, Mary Pappas is back for FORBIDDEN II from 9pm to 3am at Flounder’s on the Beach. The energy will still be sky-high and that’s when Barry Harris takes over to spin at SPELLBOUND II at the Annex, from 3am to 9am after Abracadabra.

"We know … you want more … well, you’re gonna get it." Mon., May 30, award-winning DJ Dewight Barkley brings you all to CLIMAX at Emerald City for the annual drink-n-drown closing party. The doors open a 9pm, and look for some exciting entertainment to round out your party weekend.
