A shimmering evening of string-arranged Christmas carols by candlelight on Florida's Gulf Coast

1250 Miracle Strip Pkwy SE, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548
The second of two Candlelight Christmas performances on December 19, Christmas Carols on Strings is an intimate evening concert (6:15-8:15 PM) that spotlights the shimmering beauty of beloved carols reimagined for strings. O Holy Night, Joy to the World, White Christmas, and a full roster of cherished holiday songs are transformed by skilled string players into something truly luminous — all by the glow of hundreds of candles.
The evening show carries a distinct, quietly magical energy. As the Gulf Coast night settles in outside and candlelight casts everything in amber warmth, the experience feels like stepping inside a living holiday postcard. It is an especially wonderful choice for couples celebrating the season together, or for any visitor who wants to close a perfect Saturday with something meaningful and memorable.
The Fever Candlelight series has earned its worldwide reputation for transporting audiences, and the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center's coastal setting adds a Florida Gulf charm that makes this show its own. Tickets start at $45.50 — treat yourself before the holiday season slips away.
