Top 3 Things to Do in Destin for Labor Day

Labor Day Weekend means it is time to take a break from working and take time to rest. Fortunately, rest and relaxation are our specialties along the beaches of South Walton and Destin, Florida. Here are the top three things to do in Destin for R&R on Labor Day Weekend: 

Sunset after the storm

Watch the Sunset

One of our favorite Destin Labor Day activities is getting a front-row seat for the sunset show. Labor Day weekend signifies the end of summer and Labor Day Sunsets are like nature's fireworks, celebrating the end of a spectacular summer season.  While there are Labor Day fireworks at HarborWalk Village, we're a fan of hitting the beach for a glorious sunset instead.

Those with an appreciation of art and food will enjoy the Baytowne Art & Food Fest. Each evening from 5-10 p.m. Friday through Sunday, guests are invited to relax and stroll through the Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin, browsing a variety of artwork from local and regional artists and savoring bites from some of the area's best restaurants and food trucks. Enjoy live music on the main stage throughout the festival and a spectacular fireworks show over the lagoon on Sunday at 9:30 p.m. Learn more and view musical guests online at baytownewharf.com
