Destin Theater
and Arts!

World-class art in "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village?" It isn't as strange as it seems! From its beginnings, Destin has been home to free-spirits who relish the good life. The cool sea breezes flowing over long, rolling emerald-green waves... the sugar-white dunes and subtropical flora and fauna have been inspiration to the area's many artists. And Destin isn't alone.

From Grayton Beach in the east, to Ft. Walton in the west, the Emerald Cost offers a wide range of artists and artistic expression.

Its painters, musicians, and actors add cultural depth to the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Donna Burgess, of Artz, creates beautiful beach and harbor watercolors. Every year, Ms. Burgess designs a poster that is sure to become a classic for the Spring Wine Festival.

HOT Time…
Summer in
Key West!
Hardly a summer weekend goes by in the Florida Keys without a special event or festival taking place. The choices are endless, ranging from powerboat races to culinary, musical, historical and cultural celebrations, and quirky off-the-wall events featuring underwater music and chickens...and, of course, it's always nice to be in Key West...and do nothing. Lots of people do that all year long and they do it very well… if you're looking for a place to settle those nerves, Key West is THE place!

But it's almost summer in the Keys and that means it’s time for festivals and all out partying…summer-style. Locals and visitors alike join in every event and just getting there, is half the fun! Songwriters from all over the country converge on the island paradise for the 10th annual Key West Songwriters' Festival, May 11th-15th. Many of America's foremost hit makers will perform in intimate, audience-friendly settings. After all, any song set in the midst of a cool island breeze and surrounded by crystal clear water will always sound like a hit!
