For families staying along 30A, Grinchmas at Baytowne Wharf is a free December photo stop. On both Fridays the Grinch is in the Village from 5 to 7 p.m., and The Grinch (2018) plays on the Village big screen. No screening time is posted yet.
Before you make the drive: we confirmed this listing on The Village of Baytowne Wharf’s events calendar on October 14, 2026, five days after Hurricane Isaias came ashore near Destin. Plans along 30A and US 98 can still shift during storm recovery, so confirm with the organizer before you go.
