All proceeds benefit the Seaside School Foundation. Let the weekend festivities begin!

Friends of Eden Gardens State Park are preparing for the annual celebration of the revered Camellias gracing the grounds of our unique park in Old Point Washington.

Spend the weekend falling in love with some of South Walton's most adorable, stunning, artistic and unique homes from beach to bay on Feb 18 and 19, 2017. Every year around Valentine's Day, SoWal lovers look forward to the Valentine Tour of Homes weekend.

Butter, garlic and green beans sizzle in a pan while a handful of marinated jumbo shrimp caramelizes on the grill. For the kitchen crew at Local Catch, making a meal is second nature.

Every year in February, whether the beach air is warm or thankfully chilly, the pots at the Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin are bubbling over with yummy gumbo of all types and flavors, brimming with unique and tasteful gumbo recipes from local restaurants and groups.

We're always excited to learn about new and exciting events in and around SoWal - and this one sounds like a winner. High end boats, gear, and lots more to explore next to Pier Park in Panama City Beach.
