Blues, Brews, and BBQ Festival
- Location: HarborWalk Village, 10 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL 32541
- Starts: 1:00PM
- Ends: 4:00PM
The annual Blues, Brews & BBQ Festival at HarborWalk Village on November 14 is the perfect reason to extend your fall trip. More than 20 tasting stations line the waterfront boardwalk, where local restaurants and pitmasers battle for glory with their finest BBQ, craft brews, and creative cocktails.
Stroll the harbor with a tasting paddle in hand as live blues legends John Hart and Tyler Mac set the soulful soundtrack from the stage. BBQ smoke drifts over the water, the crowd grows happily louder, and the glittering Destin Harbor serves as a stunning backdrop. You even get to vote — Peoples Choice Awards for Best BBQ, Best Cocktail, and Best Brew are decided by the crowd.
Every bite and sip also supports local charities — this beloved festival regularly draws over 1,500 attendees and tickets sell out quickly. Grab yours early and use it as the anchor for a Destin fall trip. October Fishing Rodeo, November Blues Brews and BBQ — the Emerald Coast fall calendar does not disappoint.

All Star Premiers
- Location: Destin Fort Walton Beach Convention Center, Fort Walton Beach
- Starts: 8:00 am
- Ends: 6:00 pm
We believe that true championship readiness requires more than just mastering skills in the gym. There is a specific type of pressure that only exists under the lights, and it’s an environment that simply cannot be replicated at practice. The All-Star Premiers gives teams the chance to shake off the nerves and perform in a full-scale arena setting before the competition season begins.
By bridging the gap between the practice mat and the competition stage, we allow programs to identify and fix the “live-performance” variables that only show up under pressure. Our turn-key events provide designated times for your program only, ensuring a focused environment where you can refine every transition and stunt before a single score is ever recorded. When your teams finally walk into their first major competition, they won’t just be hoping for a hit, they’ll be performing with the poise of veterans who have already conquered the arena.
