DeLuna Fest began in 2010 and is held on Pensacola Beach. It is named after Spanish conquistador Don Tristan De Luna who landed on Pensacola Beach in 1559. He founded one of earliest colonies in the US when he arrived. According to the DeLuna Fest website, De Luna threw a party upon making it to dry land and that is what DeLuna Fest was attempting to revive. The colony was destroyed by a hurricane a few months later. After De Luna left, the area would not be settled again until 1698.
