Three Gulf Coast Events We Are Thankful For!

Today kicks off the most thankful month of the year. November boasts family gatherings and gratitude aplenty. One thing we’re grateful for all year round is the amazing Gulf Coast events. This month, we can’t wait for these events that make us even more thankful to live on the Gulf Coast of Northwest Florida and Coastal Alabama.

BLUES, BREWS, & BBQ IN DESTIN

When an event is named for the South’s best music, food, and beverage, what more do you need to know? The Blues, Brews, & BBQ festival on November 4 at the Destin Harbor takes fall to another level. Overlooking the Destin Pass, with the shops of HarborWalk Village as a backdrop, this Saturday soaks up the sounds, sights, and savory flavors of the South. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 the day of the event.
