The City of Panama City Beach proudly offers a Banner Program to recognize and celebrate significant local events, historical landmarks, public service, holidays, and community achievements. The Banners are displayed on City-owned light poles along certain streets within the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA).  

Types of Banners the City Will Display 

Banners may be approved and displayed on City-owned light poles to commemorate or recognize the following: 

  • City Events, Landmarks, and Historical Remembrances of Significance. Banners may celebrate City-sponsored or City-endorsed events; landmarks of cultural, historical, or architectural importance within the City; and significant anniversaries or commemorations that reflect the City’s heritage and identity. 

  • Holidays Recognized by the City, State of Florida, or the United States Government. Banners may commemorate officially recognized municipal, state, or federal holidays. 

  • Service in the Armed Services and Public Service. Banners may celebrate and honor individuals or groups who have served or are serving in the armed forces of the State of Florida or the United States, as well as individuals who have provided exemplary public service to the City and its residents. 

  • Scholastic, Athletic, and Other Achievements of Academic Institutions in the City. Banners may celebrate notable educational, athletic, arts, or other achievements by students, teams, or organizations associated with academic institutions located within City limits or by residents of the City. 

As part of the banner program, the City Manager establishes the time, duration, manner, and placement of banners and the subjects for each banner by designating a “Banner Event.”  The City Manager has established the following schedule of banner events:   

  • January through February (To Be Determined) 

  • March through April (To Be Determined) 

  • May (High School Graduation: Class of 2025) 

  • November through December (Christmas Holidays)
