About this event
The Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort turns into a magical holiday village on two Wednesday evenings in December — December 11th and December 18th — with free outdoor concerts featuring beloved holiday classics and a very special appearance by a legendary gift-giver in a red suit.
From 6 to 8 PM on both nights, the cobblestone streets and festive storefronts of Baytowne Wharf fill with families, the scent of warm holiday food, and the sound of live music echoing across the lagoon. The twinkling lights of the village, combined with the cool Gulf breeze rolling in off the Emerald Coast, create a truly magical setting that feels worlds away from a typical Florida December.
Baytowne Wharf is one of the most beloved gathering spots on the Emerald Coast, and these holiday nights showcase why. Come early to grab a seat at one of the outdoor restaurants, then stroll through the village with a warm drink while the live music plays. Bring the kids for the meet-and-greet opportunity — those photos make unforgettable holiday card memories.
Best for: Families with young children, couples seeking a romantic holiday evening, and anyone who loves the magic of the season by the water
What to expect: Free outdoor holiday concerts, festive village atmosphere, decorated storefronts, dining options, and a special visitor for the kids
Planning tip: Make dinner reservations at one of the Baytowne restaurants — the village fills up on these Wednesday evenings. Arrive by 5:30 PM to find street parking or use the Sandestin resort lots.
Cost: Free admission to the concert; dining and shopping at your own expense
