Destin, Florida, has been a summer vacation destination for Southerners for years, not only for its pristine blue waters, but also because it’s within driving distance from most Southern states. After a day spent unwinding by the sea, everyone’s thoughts turn to food and entertainment for the night. Well, both of those needs are easily met with Concerts in the Village, a nine-week outdoor summer concert series that takes place at Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village, right in the heart of Destin. This event, featuring a variety of musical genres including Motown, jazz, and the golden oldies, has been named one of “the top ten things to do” in northwest Florida by Florida Travel and Tourism Magazine.

Since picnics are welcome, find a local seafood market and enjoy some of the Gulf’s freshest catches in your basket. This is a perfect opportunity to pack a beach-themed picnic with some local shrimp salad and key lime pie. Seating for the concerts is first-come first-served, so shake the sand off those beach chairs and fill that cooler back up for an evening of family entertainment on the Emerald Coast.
