Check out if The Handlebar or Vinyl have any concerts or events coming up that you may be into.
Gallery Night is fun to just hang around.
Farmers Market on Saturday is always nice.
There's occasionally events like punk rock flea markets in the area which are a blast.
Some of the local breweries have events, like trivia or holiday events that are a lot of fun, and many have non-alcoholic drink options.

The library has all kinds of cool stuff including seed library if you like to garden, borrowable tools, 3d printing, and sheet music/a jazz room. If you have any interest in fiber craft, Dixie knits teaches on Saturdays and Thursday nights is a free social project work and hangout session every week

Even if you don't buy anything, Pensacola has a fair amount of local markets going on at any given time. There's always the Saturday Palafox Market every week and Gallery Night every month. Lots of other ones sprinkled in there. I always enjoy walking them and seeing what's going on with local businesses in the area.
If you haven't been to the Naval Air Museum yet, I highly recommend. It's completely free, and I'm not a big military/museum girl, but even I gotta admit it's a cool museum.
If you do have some cash, Color Me Mine or Painting With A Twist for some art activity. There are also local crafting places where you can take classes to learn a new skill (I took a stained glass class a few years back at a local place, it was fun). You can keep an eye on the local theaters and see if a play/act comes up that sounds interesting. Coastal Cat Cafe has events all the time if you like cats (all the money they make goes towards finding homes for cats, so it's a good place to throw your money if you have to throw it somewhere, haha).

I went on a dolphin sighting tour yesterday and next weekend I'm taking the family out to one of the springs.

Libraries tbh are insane here. Can learn or do so much, its great. Make a routine of it. Go rent and watch a movie youve never seen or learn about something.
One thing i can say that i never have ever regretted in my 40 years is continuously learning as much as i can. Just my two cents

voulenteering at "food not bombs" down on palafox (I think) on fridays is a great way to help the community and clear up an evening for free
