Each year on the 4th of July, The Graffiti Bridge will usually get dressed in red, white, and boom.
This historic little railroad trestle in Pensacola has become more than a canvas, it’s a conversation. And when Independence Day rolls around, the message is loud and clear: Freedom, creativity, and community go hand in hand.

Over the years, artists from have turned the bridge into a patriotic tribute that goes far beyond sparklers and fireworks. From eagles that stare down traffic to Blue Angels soaring across concrete skies, this bridge has seen it all.
This is a look back at some of our favorite Fourth of July murals:
Each piece reminds us that freedom of expression isn’t just written into law, it’s painted into our streets.
So whether you're grilling, beaching, or blasting Bruce Springsteen this holiday, take a moment to cruise past The Graffiti Bridge. Snap a pic, leave your own mark, or just soak in the layers of history, love, and art that make Pensacola shine brighter than a grand finale.
Happy 4th of July, from The Graffiti Bridge!
