Spend Labor Day on the Gulf Coast

Most people love spending holidays at the beach. Labor Day is right around the corner and we expect lots of visitors to our beautiful Emerald Coast. Soft, white sand and blue-green waters will attract families from all over the world. When you aren’t relaxing at the beach soaking up the sun, there are plenty of fun events to take part in during Labor Day weekend.

In Seaside on Saturday, August 31st, visitors can celebrate the end of summer season listening to the Vegabonds. The concert series takes place at the Seaside Amphitheater at 7pm. Spend the day shopping at the Town Center, grab dinner at one of the many amazing restaurants nearby, and spread out a blanket and enjoy the show.

Don’t miss the fireworks on Sunday night across town at the Destin Harbor. HarborWalk Village will host the annual Labor Day celebration on Saturday and Sunday. There will be live music all weekend including performances from Bands Flash Flood and Flying High. Sunday night will close out with a grand fireworks display over the harbor.
