GO FOR AN EVENT
Music, food, and beautiful beach
houses are all reasons to go deeper
into the 30A experience. Start the year
off with the acclaimed 30A Songwriters
Festival in January, a 10-year-old
event where 25 venues up and down
the corridor host hundreds of
musicians for a four-day songfest. The
main stage at Grand Boulevard draws
big crowds for the big names, but
more intimate places to hear (and get
to meet) a songwriter might include
The Boathouse at Watercolor and
Caliza at Alys Beach.
Other events throughout the year
include the Sandestin Gumbo Festival
and Valentine Tour of Homes (both in
April), the South Walton Wine &
Left and Below: The
musical artists who
perform at the annual
30A Songwriters
Festival range from
well-known performers
such as Tanya
Tucker on the big
stage, but also more
intimate concerts with
musicians such as
Marietta’s own Alex
Guthrie, who recently
sang with Carissa
Broadwater at
Hibiscus Café.
