Blues, Brews & BBQ is an annual barbecue competition that takes place at the Destin Harbor with live entertainment. The area also offers movies in the park, themed marathon races, concert series, and much more.

Luxury accommodations can be made at local condos, vacation homes, and villas in Destin, Miramar Beach, and Seagrove Beach areas. With all that these beach communities have to offer, it’s no wonder Destin is a Top Destination on the Rise.
