Labor Day Weekend means it is time to take a break from working and take time to rest. Fortunately, rest and relaxation are our specialties along the beaches of South Walton and Destin, Florida. Here are the top three things to do in Destin for R&R on Labor Day Weekend:
Watch Sunset from the Beach
One of our favorite Destin Labor Day activities is getting a front-row seat for the sunset show. Labor Day weekend signifies the end of summer and Labor Day Sunsets are like nature's fireworks, celebrating the end of a spectacular summer season. While there are Labor Day fireworks at HarborWalk Village, a glorious sunset from the beach is a spectacular show.
Listen to Live Music Overlooking the Destin Harbor
Celebrate Labor Day Weekend on the Destin Harbor and enjoy live music in a scenic coastal setting. HarborWalk Village will feature bands on the main stage all weekend long and fireworks over the Destin Harbor on Sunday night. The Harbor will be buzzing with activity, and families can stay cool with shaved ice trucks for the kids and beer and seltzer samplings for adults. On-site parking is $20 (valid all day, including same day return). On Saturday, August 31, live music on the main stage from 7-9 p.m. On Sunday, September 1, live concert by Alex Smith on the main stage from 6-9 p.m. and fireworks at 9 p.m. followed by a fire-spinning performance with Autumn Lyfe.

Enjoy Art & Live Music at the Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin
A "must stop" on Labor Day Weekend is a visit to Sandestin's Village of Baytowne Wharf.
