All About Memorial Day on 30A
Stay with us at Adagio, kick off summer, and enjoy Memorial Day on 30A!
Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall
Although the Memorial Day holiday weekend is often a lively summertime celebration, it’s also important to remember what the day truly stands for—honoring the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. This year, the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall will be coming to Santa Rosa Beach. The wall is a small-scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, standing at six feet tall and covers almost 300 feet from end to end.
Rosemary Beach Farmers’ Market
On each Sunday throughout the year, you can stroll through the 30A Farmers’ Market in Rosemary Beach. The market takes place in a gorgeous park that is totally Instagram-worthy. Visit stands from local farmers, makers, and merchants and browse their collections of produce, baked goods, jams, cheese, homemade pasta, fresh-cut flowers, organic body products, and more.
Baytowne Memorial Day Weekend Celebration 
Head to The Village of Baytowne Wharf and enjoy three nights of Memorial Day festivities. On the first day, you and your family can enjoy an outdoor concert with live music from Forrest Williams Band, an award-winning favorite on stage among locals and visitors to the area. There will also be an array of exciting children’s activities, such as face painting, balloon animals, and games. The star of the show will be the patriotic fireworks show that will light up the sky and dazzle onlookers.
Destin Harbor Memorial Day Concert Celebration
Each year, HarborWalk Village in Destin goes big and celebrates Memorial Day weekend with music and fun in the sun. The day begins with a concert series and is followed by a firework display over the harbor. Don’t forget to grab your blankets and beach chairs so you can sit back and enjoy.
