Then as the night deepens, fireworks light up Destin Harbor at 9 PM in a spectacular weekly finale that reflects off the water in brilliant color.</p><p>HarborWalk Village is one of Destin's most vibrant waterfront destinations, lined with waterfront restaurants, boat excursion docks, and boutique shops.
