About this event

Labor Day weekend at Sandestin means the Baytowne Wharf Art Walk — a three-evening al fresco art festival that transforms the charming brick-lined streets of Baytowne Wharf Village into an open-air gallery. Regional and local artists line the walkways with paintings, photography, sculpture, and crafts, all set against the shimmering backdrop of the resort lagoon.

Each evening from 5 to 10 PM the festival runs free and open to the public, accompanied by live music from local artists performing throughout the village. Sunday night brings the weekend to a spectacular close with a fireworks show over the lagoon at 9:15 PM — a magical send-off to another unforgettable Emerald Coast summer.

Whether you are an art lover, a casual browser, or simply looking for a beautiful evening out, the Art Walk blends the relaxed magic of end-of-summer Sandestin with the creativity of the Florida Gulf Coast's vibrant arts community. It is the perfect final weekend adventure before the fall sets in.

Best for: Art lovers, couples seeking a romantic evening out, families looking for a cultural Labor Day outing

What to expect: Local and regional artists, live music nightly 5-10 PM, fireworks on Sunday at 9:15 PM, dining and shopping at Baytowne Wharf

Planning tip: Plan to attend on Sunday night to catch both the art walk and the fireworks finale over the lagoon. Combine with dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants for a full evening.

Cost: Free admission; artwork available for purchase
