Whether you come for the headliners or just to soak in the Panhandle fall vibe, this is the kind of event that gets added to the annual vacation calendar.</p><p>Niceville is just a short drive from Destin and Fort Walton Beach — the perfect excuse to extend your beach trip into October and experience the Emerald Coast when the crowds thin, the weather cools, and the festivals heat up. Grab tickets early; this one sells out.</p>
