The Emerald Coast's Fall Festivals

Fall is my favorite time of year in Destin. Locals call it the ‘between season’, when the summer crowds have gone back home and it’s a little too early for the holiday surge. The weather is at a perfect 75-85 degrees and my favorite outdoor festivals make their yearly appearance once again.

October is the month for Destin’s 34th Annual Seafood Festival. Three days of over 20 food vendors, mostly local restaurants, serving up delicious seafood dishes. The setting takes place along the beautiful Destin Harbor and draws a big crowd. Along with amazing food you will enjoy live music, arts & crafts, and plenty of kid activities. Bring the whole family out to HarborWalk Village on October 5th-7th!

November brings one of the most esteemed events of the Emerald Coast …. The Seeing Red Wine Festival! Throughout the streets of Seaside you can taste and tour the latest trends in wine as well as sample delicious hors d’oeuvres prepared by local restaurants. An exquisite afternoon of wine, food, and live entertainment takes place Saturday, November 3rd.

Enjoy the Emerald Coast at its best! Visit Destin this fall.
