October 4th, 5th & 6th 
 Annual Festival Means Music

 

Louis Prima Jr and The Witnesses
The 35th Annual Destin Seafood Festival is hosted  along the Destin Harbor Boardwalk featuring fresh local seafood, live music, artists, and more.

The great live music kicks off on Friday night with Flash Flood and keeps rockin' with Orphan Annie band, from New Orlean's then tops off the night with fireworks and high energy dance party.

The weekend's entertainment will satisfy every taste from American honky tonk and rockabilly of The Modern Elderados to artful soul stirring jazz of The Blenders. New Orleans style big brass bands to Southern country rock from Andy Velo, the harbor will come alive with music from across the globe. Saturday night on the west end of the Harbor brings Latin flavor to the dance floor, with La Grand Banda, an international touring salsa and Merengue band from Honduras at Crab Island Cantina.

All music and art aficionados will enjoy unique local and international talent acts throughout the entire Destin Harbor Boardwalk. Festival attendees can also enjoy artists and delicious fresh food from dozens of vendors. Three days, multiple stages, hundreds of artists and dozens of delicious culinary offerings all combine to make this year's seafood festival a culinary and colorful celebration of living life on the beautiful Destin Harbor. The finale on the HarborWalk Village stage from Louis Prima Jr and The Witnesses, from Las Vegas, will get the entire audience to jump, jive, and wail to swing, rock, surprise special guest artists and a roarin' horn section.
