About This Event

The Village of Baytowne Wharf is going all out for Memorial Day Weekend 2026 with two nights of live music, family fun, and fireworks over the Lagoon. On Saturday, May 23, the Forrest Williams Band takes the Events Plaza stage from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, followed by a spectacular fireworks show at 9:15 pm. On Sunday, May 24, the Trest Richerson Band keeps the party going from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, capped with another round of fireworks.

Expect lawn games, DJ Mike Whitty spinning between sets, and hundreds of guests soaking up that bittersweet end-of-May energy. It's a free, family-friendly celebration that honors our veterans and kicks off summer the right way β€” with sand between your toes and fireworks overhead.

Who This Event Is Best For

Best for families looking for an easy off-beach outing during a Destin or Miramar Beach stay.

What To Expect

Expect a family-friendly atmosphere, simple logistics, and an event that is easy to mix into a broader beach itinerary.

Planning Tips for Destin & Miramar Beach Visitors

  • This is the kind of event that pairs well with a beach morning and an early dinner afterward, rather than an all-day commitment.
  • 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.

Cost & Admission

Check the official event page for the most current ticket, admission, and pricing details before you go.

Staying Nearby?

If this event is one reason for your trip, it makes sense to stay somewhere comfortable and keep the rest of the weekend easy. Our rentals work well for guests who want beach time, dining, and local events all in the same trip.
