May 26, 2026 by SoWal Staff
Summer activities, theater, and concerts fill the air once again this summer at Watersound Town Center on the eastern end of SoWal.
The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) and Russell Carter Artist Management are teaming up to present the 30A Fest Songwriters Showcase Series, bringing the unmistakable spirit of the 30A Songwriters Festival to the local stage for a string of beautiful summer nights as part of the Sounds Of Summer Series. Each showcase features an opening act and headliner performing original songs from artists connected to the nationally recognized 30A Songwriters Festival.
Running from June through August, this stellar series joins the "Sounds Like Summer" lineup at The Pavilion at Watersound Town Center. For dedicated festival regulars and newcomers alike, the showcases offer a rare chance to experience the heart of the January festival—authentic storytelling, incredible songwriting, and unexpected musical discoveries—without the winter chill. Under the shade of the expansive outdoor pavilion, the series promises to capture that intimate, community-driven energy that only happens when grayt songs bring people together.
These events are FREE and open to the public - and just a taste of what’s ahead at the 30A Songwriters Festival, January 15–18, 2027! To learn more about the festival, visit 30ASongwritersFestival.com.
Fans can look forward to a rotating lineup of world-class performers sharing the inspiration behind their biggest hits and debuting new material in a listening-room style format. It is the perfect reminder of why music lovers keep coming back to the South Walton coast year after year.
