Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Enjoy the month of July; Destin has so much to offer!
Local Events
The main event in July is obviously Independence Day. You can celebrate by spending the weekend at Crab Island or one of the many beaches on the Emerald Coast. A few public beaches worth looking up are O'Steen, June-Decker, Norriego Point, and the beaches all along Highway 98 on Okaloosa Island.
The Emerald Grande is also hosting a party from 7:00-10:00pm on the 4th, of course with fireworks to end the evening.
As for the rest of the month, one can listen to music at the Landing in Fort Walton Beach every Friday at 6pm and Rock the Docks at the Destin Harbor every Saturday at 7pm. Pardi Gras will also continue every Tuesday at 7pm.
Emerald Grande is hosting movie nights throughout the Summer. Here's the July schedule:
7/1: Shrek, 7/8: Despicable Me, 7/15: Tinkerbell, 7/22: The Bee Movie, 7/29: The Princess and the Frog
