About This Event

Imagine strolling through a seaside town where the buildings themselves become canvases β€” the 19th annual Digital Graffiti festival turns that vision into breathtaking reality. Every evening of the festival, roughly 70 original works from digital artists around the world are projected onto Alys Beach's signature bright-white stucco walls, pathways, and architectural features, creating a nearly one-mile immersive outdoor gallery unlike anything else in Northwest Florida.

The weekend unfolds across three distinct events: the Art + Architecture Walking Tour kicks things off on Thursday (4-6 PM), followed by the curated Awards Party and a 21+ all-inclusive night on Friday (6-11 PM), and the grand All-Ages Night on Saturday (8-11 PM), when the whole family can wander under cascading light and color. Set on Scenic Highway 30A directly across from the Gulf of Mexico, it is one of the most visually stunning cultural events on the Emerald Coast.

Whether you are an art enthusiast, a photography buff, or simply looking for a magical evening out during your beach vacation, Digital Graffiti delivers an experience you will never forget. Tickets sell quickly β€” book early and plan to explore the charming Alys Beach village while you are there.

Planning Tips for Destin & Miramar Beach Visitors

  • Arrive early to beat the parking crunch β€” Alys Beach fills up fast on festival nights. Wear comfortable walking shoes for the full mile stroll.
  • If you're staying in Destin or Miramar Beach, check drive time before heading out since some events are nearby while others are better treated as a short side trip.
  • For weekend events, it helps to pair this with nearby dining, beach time, or another local attraction so the outing feels like part of a full vacation day.
  • Use the official event website for final admission details, tickets, parking, and any same-day schedule changes.
