About this event
Every Saturday evening from late November through mid-December, the historic downtown of DeFuniak Springs transforms into a festive holiday market. Baldwin Avenue fills with white tents, string lights, and the scent of kettle corn and warm cider as local artisans, craftspeople, and food vendors line the block between South 7th and South 8th Streets.
The Mistletoe Market is a beloved local tradition — a genuine small-town holiday experience with handmade gifts, holiday décor, baked goods, and seasonal treats. DeFuniak Springs' stunning Circle Drive with its Victorian-era homes and the iconic lakeside park make the surrounding scenery as memorable as the market itself. Evening light turns the whole neighborhood golden.
The market runs four Saturdays: November 28, December 5, December 12, and December 19, from 3 to 8 PM each evening. It's about a 35-minute drive north of Destin on US-331 — a scenic and easy trip worth combining with a visit to the picturesque downtown circle. Free admission; bring cash for small vendors.
Best for: Families, couples, and holiday shoppers looking for a genuine small-town holiday market experience with local artisans and festive atmosphere
What to expect: Four Saturday evening markets from 3–8 PM in a beautifully preserved historic downtown, with local craft vendors, food, and holiday entertainment
Planning tip: DeFuniak Springs is about 35 minutes north of Destin on US-331 — pair the market with a walk around the scenic Victorian lakeside circle for a full evening. Bring cash for smaller vendors.
Cost: Free admission; budget for vendor purchases
