SOWAL Comedy Fest is set to return to South Walton over Valentine’s weekend, bringing three nights of nationally recognized stand-up comedy to 30A from Thursday, February 12, through Saturday, February 14, 2026.

The festival, presented by the SOWAL Foundation, continues its tradition of pairing big-city comedy talent with intimate local venues for a polished, close-up experience.

Formerly known as Sand Up Comedy Fest, the event has sold out consistently over the past two years. In 2026, the festival introduces a new reserved seating experience, allowing guests to choose their preferred view, whether that means front-row energy or a more relaxed spot with friends.

This year’s headliners include Peter Wong, a Comedy Central performer and returning favorite; Anjelica Scannura, a Just For Laughs New Face of Stand-Up and Boston Comedy Festival winner; and Carter Deems, known for his work on MTV’s Wild ’N Out and major comedy writing credits.

Shows will run nightly with two performances each evening at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Click here to buy tickets!

Performances will take place across three South Walton venues: SOWAL House, Wild Olives at Greenway Station, and Distillery 98, each offering its own atmosphere, food and drink options, and signature vibe.

Proceeds from the festival support the SOWAL Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting local creatives through year-round programming, including film screenings, poetry events, and art exhibitions.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by date, venue, or headliner. More details are available at sowalcomedyfest.com.
