About this event
Every Friday night through late October, The Landing in downtown Fort Walton Beach transforms into an open-air concert venue with free live music for everyone. Pull up a lawn chair, grab food from nearby restaurants, and enjoy some of the Gulf Coast's best local and regional acts playing right on the water.
The 2026 fall lineup features an eclectic mix of bands — from high-energy rock acts like Chaos Complete and About To Sweat to the crowd-pleasing funk and soul of Flow Tribe closing out the series on October 27. Whether you're spending a week in Destin or a long weekend in Fort Walton Beach, a Friday night at The Landing is the kind of easygoing local scene that defines the Emerald Coast vibe.
No tickets, no cover, no hassle — just show up. The series runs 6 to 8 PM each Friday, so it's perfect before a dinner on Miracle Mile or a sunset stroll along Okaloosa Island.
Best for: Families, couples, and anyone looking for free live entertainment on a Friday evening
What to expect: Free outdoor concerts with local and regional bands, 6–8 PM every Friday. Lawn-style seating, food and drinks available nearby. All ages welcome.
Planning tip: Bring a blanket or folding chair and arrive early for the best spot. The series closes with Flow Tribe on October 27 — a great way to end the summer season.
Cost: Free admission
