T

he fi rst annual Harborfest hosted by Emerald Grande 
at HarborWalk Village, held on September 22, was a 
huge success with hundreds of people attending the 
celebration. Those who attended the event enjoyed 

an evening of sipping, savoring, and shopping their way along the 
Destin Harbor. The aim of Harborfest was to have visitors enjoy 
and celebrate the arts, dining, history, and community spirit that 
makes Destin so special. 

The Destin History and Fishing Museum, along with charter 

captains from HarborWalk Charters shared their favorite fi sh 
tales and fi shing heritage of Destin highlighting the area’s 
fi shing heritage alongside freshly prepared seafood dishes from 
local chefs. The area’s best artists also displayed hand-crafted 
jewelry, paintings, and more. The youngest guests stopped by the 
Abrakadoodle table to create and take home their own masterpiece. 
For live entertainment, local favorite, Flash Flood, was featured 
on the main stage. And, as always, the evening ended with a 
spectacular fi reworks show over the Destin Harbor at 9:00pm.
