Events

The annual Women's Expo at The Island Resort brings together more than 50 local and regional businesses for a vibrant day of shopping, discovery, and community on beautiful Okaloosa Island. The free event is one of the most beloved gatherings on the Emerald Coast, offering everything from fashion and beauty finds to wellness services, handcrafted goods, and lifestyle products curated specifically for the Gulf Coast lifestyle.

Set at the stunning waterfront Island Resort right on Okaloosa Island, the expo creates a festive marketplace atmosphere that is perfect for a girls' day out, a fun solo browse, or a laid-back afternoon with family. Meet the passionate local entrepreneurs behind the boutiques, beauty brands, and wellness studios that make this stretch of the Florida coast so special — and discover brands you will want to return to long after vacation ends.

With free admission and easy resort parking, this is an ideal way to spend a September morning supporting local businesses. Gulf Coast food vendors typically round out the experience with regional favorites, making it a full and satisfying day out.

Voted "BEST Family Activity" & "BEST Date Night Activity": World-Class MAGIC, ILLUSIONS, VENTRILOQUISM & COMEDY up-close & interactive!

VOTED: "BEST FAMILY ACTIVITY" & "BEST DATE-NIGHT ACTIVITY"

An action packed LIVE show for ALL AGES featuring World-Class MAGIC COMEDY & VENTRILOQUISM held in an intimate setting with limited seating. The interactive MAGIC takes place just inches away! Although the performance is full of world-class sophisticated MAGIC & smart comedy designed for adults it is all family-friendly & appropriate to bring children. People of all ages will love the show. A variety of alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase & you can enjoy a full menu of food & dessert offerings before or after the show. Parking is FREE!

Forget everything you think you know about a "magic show" as this is NOT your hokey children's birthday party magic show but it's also not a guy who over-dramatically waves his hands around pretending to have powers. NONE of that. Think COMEDY (laugh out loud comedy in the styling of Jeff Dunham with top-notch ventriloquism) think WOW as you are continually amazed at what your eyes are seeing. You know in your mind it's just not possible but yet you are still seeing it happen. Borrowed objects visibly move from one place to another random spectators thoughts are shared with 100% accuracy levitation of objects happen right before your eyes just to name a few. You will witness things you have never seen before or even thought possible. Imagine watching a LIVE shot on a television screen & having your drivers license (or other object of your choice) vanish inches in front of your face & appear at that location with someone else holding it! All THAT (& much more) actually happens during this performance & YOU can be part of the small group that gets to witness these amazing feats. Advance reservations are REQUIRED as shows to fill up.
