About This Event

Labor Day weekend at Sandestin means the Baytowne Wharf Art Walk β€” a three-evening al fresco art festival that transforms the charming brick-lined streets of Baytowne Wharf Village into an open-air gallery. Regional and local artists line the walkways with paintings, photography, sculpture, and crafts, all set against the shimmering backdrop of the resort lagoon.

Each evening from 5 to 10 PM the festival runs free and open to the public, accompanied by live music from local artists performing throughout the village. Sunday night brings the weekend to a spectacular close with a fireworks show over the lagoon at 9:15 PM β€” a magical send-off to another unforgettable Emerald Coast summer.

Whether you are an art lover, a casual browser, or simply looking for a beautiful evening out, the Art Walk blends the relaxed magic of end-of-summer Sandestin with the creativity of the Florida Gulf Coast's vibrant arts community. It is the perfect final weekend adventure before the fall sets in.

Who This Event Is Best For

Art lovers, couples seeking a romantic evening out, families looking for a cultural Labor Day outing

What To Expect

Local and regional artists, live music nightly 5-10 PM, fireworks on Sunday at 9:15 PM, dining and shopping at Baytowne Wharf

Planning Tips for Destin & Miramar Beach Visitors

  • Plan to attend on Sunday night to catch both the art walk and the fireworks finale over the lagoon. Combine with dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants for a full evening.
  • If you're staying in Destin or Miramar Beach, check drive time before heading out since some events are nearby while others are better treated as a short side trip.
  • For weekend events, it helps to pair this with nearby dining, beach time, or another local attraction so the outing feels like part of a full vacation day.
  • Use the official event website for final admission details, tickets, parking, and any same-day schedule changes.

Cost & Admission
