The holidays are just around the corner, and South Walton is getting into the spirit with a celebration that hits all the right notes…literally. Mark your calendar for A DwightFest Christmas, coming to the Watersound Pavilion on Friday, December 6, from 5 to 7 PM. This festive evening promises live music, great food, holiday magic, and most importantly, community impact.

Set under the twinkling lights of Watersound, this heartwarming event will feature performances by local favorites Outro and Will Thompson Band, a spirited set by the Seaside Neighborhood School Band, and a string section from the Panama City Symphony. And yes, Santa Claus himself will be making a special stop to spread some cheer.

Tickets are on sale now at Dwightfest.com, with general admission at $40 and VIP access at $100. Kids 17 and under are free, making this a family-friendly way to kick off the season.

Beyond the music and merriment, DwightFest is about giving back. Organized by DwightFest, LLC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Santa Rosa Beach, the event supports the very people who keep our local scene alive and thriving: the artists, musicians, waitstaff, and bartenders who pour their talent and energy into making South Walton so special.

When these essential members of our community are sidelined by injury, illness, or hardship, DwightFest steps in to help cover the costs they can’t. Every ticket sold goes directly toward helping them get back on their feet.

So come for the music, stay for the mission, and celebrate the season in a way that truly gives back. Because the best kind of holiday magic is the kind that helps others.

Get your tickets today at Dwightfest.com and be part of a night that brings joy to the stage, and support to those behind it.
