New Year's Eve in Destin

Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Destin is a great choice. Whether you’re seeking an outdoor or indoor party, fireworks at midnight or wish to create your own intimate evening within your vacation rental or on the beach, the options are vast. 
 
For those looking for outdoor fun and fireworks, the HarborWalk Village Street Party features live music by Departure, performing a tribute to Journey as well as two fireworks shows! At 8 p.m. families will enjoy the spectacular light display over the Destin Harbor and at midnight, revelers will enjoy the ball drop and second fireworks display to ring in the New Year. Festivities continue at seven clubs and restaurants throughout HarborWalk Village.

Downtown Fort Walton Beach presents “Blinging in the New Year” which kicks offwith a 5K and Fun Run at 6 p.m. at the FWB Landing Park. The race is followed by an after-party with live music by “Continum”, shopping, dining and a “treasure chest” drop and fireworks at midnight.

For a more elegant night, slip inside Ruth’s Chris Destin for a special New Year’s Eve with dining and dancing. Make a reservation for dinner and then stay for live music by Michael J Thomas, handcrafted cocktails, and a special New Year’s Eve countdown.

Couples can also ring in the New Year on the water aboard the Solaris Yacht. The Solaris New Year’s Eve Dinner Cruise features a five-course dinner, live entertainment and champagne toast at midnight with fireworks overhead.

Or simply select your favorite South Walton or Destin vacation rental and plan an intimate evening with family and friends as you close out 2014 and ring in the New Year!
