Will there be parades and fireworks and other events in South Walton for Independence Day? I am hoping to visit but wondering what is happening on the 4th of July in the 30A area. Seems like most SoWal rentals are already booked will businesses be open?

There will be some 4th of July festivities but we don't have many details yet. I'm seeing some fireworks being called off but this could change. Seaside 4th of July parade and night time concert with fireworks will not take place this year.

We've received word from Grayton Beach Neighborhood Association that the Grayton 4th of July Parade is on go! A true local celebration that starts at the Red Bar (no registration needed!) - just show up and decorate your truck, car, bikes, etc and parade through town. It's a Grayton tradition that is still very laid back and festive in every way...

WARNING!

Without major fireworks shows at our towns there is going to be more people than ever bringing and firing their own.

Please enjoy our beach in its natural state. No fireworks are needed. Celebrate America by enjoying our amazing nature in SoWal.

You just brought a smile to the faces of all the redneck firework stand owners in lower Alabama :whitetrash:

I don't recall WaterColor ever doing fireworks.

NO ONE should be doing fireworks this year. No events or gathering should be going on at all!

I meant big shows in towns where people pack together.

There will be a super fun morning Yoga Sculpt event on the dock of Beachy Bean, Coastal Dune Co., and Old Florida Fish House overlooking Eastern Lake. It's the perfect way to start your 4th of July off right! Also, the class actually occurs EVERY Tuesday at Beachy Bean if you're ever here during the week and want to join!

7/4 at 7:30AM-8:30AM,
Beachy Bean Coffee Co.
5221 E County Hwy 30A
Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459


Grab a friend and come sweat it out with us on the dock overlooking Eastern Lake. Enjoy a coffee from Beachy Bean, then walk onto the dock for a morning Yoga Sculpt full body workout led by MJ.

With over 3000 hours of instruction, certification, and training, MJ is sincere and supportive, and his students appreciate the positivity, connection, and camaraderie his classes inspire. MJ has built upon ten years of yoga instruction by fulfilling a personal lifelong dream: bringing his practice here to the beach.

MJ’s Yoga Sculpt class combines the discipline, breath work, and mental focus of a yoga class with strength training and cardio. Through bursts of HIIT cardio and high reps using light hand weights, this class is a full body workout. Yoga Sculpt is an efficient and effective way to become flexible, strong, and toned, but listen up: this class is about having FUN and moving to loud, upbeat tracks.

Even if you aren’t familiar with yoga or this format, all levels are welcomed. There is zero need to feel intimidated and modifications are absolutely encouraged. MJ’s class is all about trusting yourself and finding your personal best.

Yes, you will sweat. Yes, you will be challenged. But it will all be worth it!

What to Expect: Arrive 20-30 minutes before class begins. Grab an extra water or coffee from Beachy Bean, find your spot on the dock, and you’ll be ready to get your sweat on by 7:30!
What to Bring: Water, Hand Towel, Mat, Light Weights (1- 5lb, suggested but not required; water bottles or whatever you have around you can serve as weights).

Limited spots available. Class fills quickly. Sign up at www.mjyogasculpt.com. Classes will go live tomorrow 6/12! Follow along on Instagram.

Since there are only a couple of shows (none apparently along 30A) I recommend avoiding those because they will be very crowded.

Head to the beach and spread out, enjoy the sights and sounds of nature and there will be plenty of fireworks to be seen for miles up and down the beach also. Happy and safe 4th everyone!
