About this event
Every December, the beloved Cafe Thirty-A on Scenic 30A closes its doors to the public and transforms into a dazzling holiday wonderland for one of South Walton's most anticipated charity events.

From 6 to 10 PM, guests arrive to complimentary valet service and a celebratory glass of champagne, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening of elegant decor, live music, and exceptional cuisine. The festively decorated restaurant draws South Walton's finest residents and visitors alike, all united in a spirit of generosity and celebration. In 2025, the event raised a record-breaking $90,905 for local families.
