Independence Day Festivities
30A knows how to throw a party on Independence Day! Towns like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach and Watercolor go all out with parades, picnics, face painting, and, of course, an evening fireworks show over the Gulf. If this is your first time experiencing 4th of July on 30A, we recommend checking out the Annual Independence Day Festivities at Seaside. It’s a block party that gets started at 9am and continues ‘til lunchtime! During the block party, there are activities like face painting, caricaturists, people on stilts and balloon twisters! If you’re in town with your little ones, bring them to the kids’ music concert happening there too. Watch the hot dog eating contest or the bike decorating contest. There’s so much to see and do at the Seaside Spectacular. The day finishes with an amazing fireworks display that you can see from the beach or square.
See a Show at Seaside Amphitheater
Next on our list of the best July events happening on 30A are the live shows at the Seaside Amphitheater. Grab your picnic blanket and charcuterie board and come be entertained on the lawn. The amphitheater hosts a variety of performances in the evenings throughout July which include live music performances you can dance to, family-friendly plays the kids will love, and more! These shows are free, casual, community centered and worth a visit!
Night Concerts at Baytowne Wharf
Is it really summer if you don’t attend a summer concert? The event to help with that is the Baytowne Wharf Wednesday Night Concert Series. Held every Wednesday evening in Baytowne Wharf, this July event features local, regional and sometimes national musicians who come to perform on the lawn. Like with shows at the Seaside Amphitheater, you’ll want to bring your blankets or camp chairs and listen to country, pop, folk, and even the blues. These night concerts are perfect to enjoy after a day of sightseeing or a beach day.
Head to the Farmers Market
You can’t experience a July on 30A without visiting the local farmers market. On Saturdays, you can wander the aisles of the Seaside Farmers Market, and on Sundays, head to the Rosemary Beach Farmers Market. Both markets are full of the rich summer bounty. Try locally grown fruits and veggies, homemade bread and pastries, gulf seafood, and more. Non-edible items include fresh flowers, soaps, jewelry and others. Come here to taste and experience the best of 30A.
