After many years, the festival has returned to its original home on the Destin Harbor. The location puts the festival right in the heart of the action along the harbor and the Destin Fishing Rodeo. It is a tribute to the rich history of the Destin Harbor. Activities taking place at the festival include fireworks, arts, crafts, fresh local food, kids' activities and live music. Approximately 70,000 locals and visitors are expected to attend this FREE festival and we are ecstatic to invite you to be a part of this event. The Destin Seafood Festival is on the Destin Harbor Boardwalk the first weekend in October, working in harmony with the kick-off of the Destin Fishing Rodeo. We are excited for 2023!
