About this event
Only on the Emerald Coast can you go from a morning swim in the Gulf to an afternoon of genuine snowball fights — and that's exactly the kind of magical contradiction the Village of Baytowne Wharf delivers with its Winter Wonderland. On January 11, 2027, the Event Plaza inside Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort transforms into a snowy playground: real snow, trucked in especially for the day, fills the courtyard for three hours of frosty family fun.
Kids can slide down an actual ice slide, make snow angels in the fluffy drifts, or simply experience that beloved crunch underfoot that Florida winters rarely provide on their own. Parents will love watching the wonder on their children's faces as snowflakes fall against a backdrop of palm trees and the resort's charming village architecture — a photo opportunity that never gets old.
The event runs from 9 am to noon so you can still have the beach all to yourself in the afternoon. Grab a warm drink at one of the Village's cafes and settle in for a memory-making morning the whole family will be talking about long after the snow melts.
Best for: Families with young children, anyone who wants to give Florida kids a snow experience
What to expect: Real snow in the Event Plaza with an ice slide, snow angels, snowball play, and festive village atmosphere from 9 am to noon. Short lines form early, so arrive close to opening.
Planning tip: Dress the kids in layers — the mornings can be cool in January and the snow play will make them want to stay longer than planned. Park in the Sandestin resort lots and walk to the Village.
Cost: Free to attend. Some activities may require nominal fees on-site. Check baytownewharf.com for updated event details.
