Nights of Lights

Nights of Lights adds a free seasonal light display to Baytowne Wharf throughout December. The Village tree and Events Plaza Lawn form the setting for a simple holiday outing near Destin and Miramar Beach.

Event Highlights

Shows are scheduled every night from December 1 through December 31 at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Central Time. These are three separate nightly presentations, not one continuous two-hour show and not a fireworks program.

Plan Your Evening

Choose the presentation that suits your dinner or family schedule, then arrive before that start time. The December date range identifies the season: daytime hours and the overnight period are not show times. Check the official calendar close to your visit, especially for weather or holiday-night adjustments.

Baytowne Wharf is in the Sandestin resort area near Miramar Beach, a separate destination from Destin Harbor. Check your route from your accommodation and allow for traffic and parking. Free event admission does not include restaurant meals, shopping or other separately priced attractions. Review current access and parking instructions with the venue before setting out.
