Music

The corks are ready to pop as one of the Emerald Coast’s most enduring traditions returns for its 39th year of excellence.

Get ready to kick off your shoes and dive into a weekend of bay-front rhythms and savory coastal flavors in SoWal's North Beach at the foot of the 331 bridge in Santa Rosa Beach.

The first-ever Smoke, Salt & Sound Festival is officially hitting the shores of South Walton this April 3–5, bringing a sunny, sandy three-day celebration to North Beach Social and The Bay. Whether you’re coming for the music, the food, or a little Easter magic, this free community event is shaping up to be a standout weekend in South Walton.

Get your lines ready—something exciting is coming to SoWal: the first-ever Battle of the Bayou Fishing Tournament, benefiting Point Washington Medical Clinic - it's a brand-new fundraising event benefiting the free, volunteer-driven primary care clinic serving uninsured and underinsured residents across the Florida Panhandle.
