Sweet Sunday: Pumpkins & Primrose at The Henderson

The Henderson will host a fall focused Sweet Sunday event on Sunday, October 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. on The Henderson’s Grand Lawn. Pumpkins and Primrose will be the third Sweet Sunday event The Henderson has hosted to benefit The Sonder Project and will introduce Destin’s newest pumpkin patch for the entire family to enjoy.

The event will offer live music performed by Sarah Anne and The Sunshine Band along with fall-themed bites and beverages poured into custom coffee cups provided by Fort Walton Beach Medical Center and served by Primrose, The Henderson’s signature restaurant. For the kids, there will be face painting and pumpkin crafts provided by Abrakadoodle Art Education.

Additional local vendors that will be in attendance include 30A Barks, Art on the Half Shell, Beach Walk Café, Clean Juice, Coastal Cookies, Happy Silk Scarves, The Honey Hutch, Mary Ellen DiMauro, Merry Beth Myrick Designs, The Salamander Spa, Salty Scents, The Shard Shop, and Swell Pops. Special thanks to signage sponsor, Eloquent Signs.

Sweet Sunday: Pumpkins and Primrose will give the community the opportunity to experience fashion, family and flavors of fall at The Henderson. Guests will be greeted with a complimentary tote courtesy of Parkside at Henderson Beach Resort to use while shopping the multitude of local vendors selling their wares. The epicenter of the event will be a newly added pumpkin patch provided by The Village Church for guests to purchase a pumpkin to take home.

The pumpkin patch will also adorn an oversized decorated back drop to give local residents a place to bring their kids and take fall-themed family photos to commemorate the season. Guests will receive a complimentary 5”x7” printed picture from Epic Photo Co. courtesy of Destin Commons.

To benefit The Sonder Project, guests will be able to enter into a grand prize raffle featuring a deluxe stay at The Henderson including room accommodations, spa treatments, and meals at their pristine restaurants. Along with The Henderson package, the grand prize will also include exclusive items from every vendor in attendance. Raffle tickets will be on sale at the event and one hundred percent of the proceeds from the raffle will benefit The Sonder Project. 

The anchor of the event, The Honey Hutch, is a mission driven company founded by Destin local, Amy Wright, that offers pure raw honey and body care products made from simple, ethically sourced, wholesome ingredients. Wright will be at the event to help support The Sonder Project, who in addition to their notable hurricane recovery efforts, also works to strengthen communities through clean water, food security and education initiatives around the world.
