30A Songwriters Festival

The 2027 festival runs January 15 to 18, with the main stage at Grand Boulevard’s Town Center in Miramar Beach and a Friday kickoff at the Seaside Amphitheater. Most shows are short sets where writers tell the stories behind their songs, so plan to hop between nearby venues. A weekend pass is the simplest way in, and tickets sell through the festival site. Proceeds benefit the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County. Bring a warm layer for the outdoor stages, and book lodging early since January weekends here fill up for this one.
