About this event
The holiday season arrives on Scenic Highway 30A in the most charming way possible: a free Winter Wonderland celebration at 30Avenue in Inlet Beach. Running from 3:30 to 6:30 PM on November 30th, the event fills this open-air dining and shopping destination with festive cheer, from the aroma of fresh Fraser fir Christmas trees to the gentle clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages rolling through the crowd.
Grab a cup of hot chocolate and stroll through the marketplace while live holiday music fills the air. Children can meet a very special visitor, and the highlight of the evening comes at 5 PM when a large illuminated star is ceremonially lit — a beloved local tradition signaling that the holiday season on 30A has officially begun.
The event is free and family-friendly, making it the perfect way to kick off a December holiday visit to the Emerald Coast. Pair it with a stroll along the beach at sunset before the lights come on, or browse the boutiques at 30Avenue for unique gifts you won't find anywhere else.
Best for: Families, couples, and holiday shoppers looking for a festive kick-off to the season on 30A
What to expect: Horse-drawn carriage rides, hot chocolate, live music, Fraser fir trees for sale, a special visitor for kids, and a star lighting ceremony at 5 PM
Planning tip: Arrive by 4:30 PM to find parking and get settled before the 5 PM star lighting — that's the signature moment of the evening
Cost: Free admission; tree sales and refreshments available for purchase
