Walton County is officially shifting gears on its beach-access strategy with the launch of its first paid parking program. Set to take effect on April 3, 2026, the initiative aims to fund public services and maintain infrastructure while encouraging a "park once" approach through an expanded tram system.
Here is the 2025-2026 School Calendar from Visit South Walton - Use it to help plan your trips to SoWal. Locals can see when to promote business, events, and when to plan around traffic, and crowds at restaurants and grocery stores. The school calendar shows when K-12 schools and universities/colleges in our major travel markets will be on break and for school start dates.
South Walton School Calendar includes 30A travel info for Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break and other holidays.
The tradition continues! Join Red Fish Taco at their annual Good Friday Crawfish Boil on Friday, April 3rd from 4:30 - 9PM. Expect piles of hot, spicy crawfish and live music that keeps the good vibes rollin’. Invite your friends and bring the whole crew — because everyone has a seat at Red Fish Taco.
