30A Christmas 101:
A 30A Christmas is a special holiday that you’ll never forget! Read on to discover how you can have a family-friendly holiday along the picturesque Gulf Coast.
Festival of Trees
The Festival of Trees is an annual event that showcases stunning Christmas trees, each uniquely decorated by 12 local nonprofit organizations. It takes place on Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach from Thanksgiving through the winter holidays. It’s open to the public at no charge!
12 Nights of Lights
Throughout December, you can enjoy a mesmerizing light show every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at the Village of Baytowne Wharf. This truly is a sight to be seen!
Pop-Up Shopping Event
Do you still have people that you need to cross off your holiday shopping list? Head to Rosemary Beach and stroll the streets at a pop-up shopping event. Merchants will line the streets with displays featuring fashion, beauty, and home finds.
Baytowne on Ice
During your stay, head to Baytowne and be greeted by a magical winter wonderland. From October through January (and parts of February), you can hit the rink and go skating at their annual ice-skating rink. They offer skate rentals, and you can rent out the rink for private events.
Photos With Santa
Are you looking for a free event that the whole family will love? Visit Santa Claus every Saturday through December in Grand Park. He’ll be located at the Festival of Trees display to take pictures with your children for free! While you wait your turn, the kids can enjoy complimentary holiday arts and crafts.
Picnics on 30A Beaches
During December, the average temperature is 72 degrees. That’s perfect beach weather! Pack a picnic, head to one of our local beaches, and enjoy the day on the sugar-white sand. In addition to picnics, this is an amazing time of year for beach games and watching sunsets and sunrises.
