Kick Off the Fall Season with 30A Craft Beer & Spirits Festival

There’s more to the Emerald Coast then just perfect beaches and warm, sunny days. Music, food, wine and beer festivals are held year-round and attract many to our area. The fall season is when most of these occur and the weather is ideal.

Gulf Place will host this year’s 30A Craft Beer & Spirits Festival (formerly known as Destin Beer Festival) on September 30th and October 1st. Over a hundred craft beers and liquors can be sampled over the weekend as well as culinary treats from local restaurants. On Friday, live music can be enjoyed from 6-9pm as well as a craft spirit cocktail contest at 6:30pm. Local reggae band Heritage will be performing for the evening. Saturday, the festival will begin at 1pm for VIP admission and end at 5pm. There will be a grand tasting from 2-5pm. Dead 27s from Charleston, SC will be performing live while celebrating their newly released album. Both days, there will be a special mingle with brewers and beer celebrities to close out the day. 

Annual festivals are highly anticipated events for the Destin and 30-A areas attracting over 1,000 craft beer and spirit enthusiasts. This year, the festival will benefit the Seaside School Foundation with all proceeds going to the charity. We are ready for fall festivals!
