Date: Thursday, December 31, 2026, 4 to 9 p.m.
Location: Seaside Amphitheater, Central Square, Seaside
Seaside’s annual New Year’s Eve Celebration is a family-friendly early evening, with live music in the amphitheater, activities for kids, and fireworks over the Gulf. Because it wraps up by 9 p.m., it works for families with young children who won’t make it to midnight.
Seaside says more details are coming. If you’re staying nearby on 30A, walking or biking in can save you a parking search.
Storm-recovery reminder: we published this on October 12, 2026, after Hurricane Isaias came ashore near Destin. Plans along 30A can shift during recovery, so confirm with the organizer before making the trip.
