Join us for our Snow & Starlight Supper Club on Friday, December 6th from 6-10PM at the Grayton Beer Company Taproom, where your neighbors are your friends, and life is in no great hurry.

When private supper clubs swept the South in the first part of the
twentieth century, the phenomenon was spurred by a lack of restaurants…
or at least ones at which customers could openly and legally drink
liquor. Now, patrons aren’t necessarily looking for chef-blessed food or
stiff drinks, both of which they can easily find elsewhere. Instead,
they’re seeking the kind of face-to-face rendezvous that hasn’t fared
well in the Internet age.

On December 6th, the Seaside School Foundation invites you to join us for relaxed listening experience like no other.

Life is full of moments, take pause and savor them. At Snow &
Starlight, we’ll enjoy amazing food, finely crafted locals brews, a
spectacular holiday ambience and the musical talent of our Seaside
School band, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Shawn Mullins.

Special thanks to our PRESENTING SPONSORS, The St. Joe Community Foundation and The Howard Group, for their continued support of the Seaside® Schools.

More than 5,000 music lovers come together over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend to attend the 30A Songwriters Festival. This unique four-day music extravaganza features over 200 songwriters and musicians, including Brian Wilson, performing original songs in various genres, ranging from country and Americana to folk and blues in over 25 dedicated listening rooms along historic 30A in South Walton. The festival is produced by the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) and Russell Carter Artist Management. All of the net proceeds benefit the CAA. Visit 30ASongwritersFestival.com for tickets and additional information.

About the Festival

The 30A Songwriters Festival, now in its tenth year, is the major fundraiser for the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA), a private, non-profit 501(c)3 organization that champions the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education. The Festival’s success is critical to the success of the CAA, and your support as a ticket-buyer, partner or volunteer helps us provide an abundance of programs, services and support to the community.

Founded in 1993, the CAA continues to fulfill the vision of Walton County’s arts pioneers by distributing net proceeds through the Art For All Program, which funds need-based student scholarships, college scholarships, artist continuing education grants and grants to other arts organizations, teachers and schools. These grants make it possible to incorporate music, performing arts, visual arts and other art programs into the classroom that are not usually available due to lack of funding. Many of the needs are basic, like books and art supplies; others are for special projects, equipment and instruments.

About Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County

he Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is a Local Arts Agency that supports the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education.

The vision of the CAA is to be the catalyst for Walton County’s growth as a destination for cultural and artistic excellence through which lives are enriched, economy is stimulated and community is strengthened.

The winner of the 2014–2015 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, Buyer & Cellar is a one man comedy about the price of fame and the oddest of all odd jobs. Jonathan Tolins has concocted an irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises — an underemployed Los Angeles actor goes to work in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu, California, basement. It’s a fantasy so delightful you wish it were true. Tickets and additional show information available at EmeraldCoastTheatre.org/on-stage.

The Devil Makes Three (TDM3), whose latest album Chains Are Broken(New West Records) debuted in the Top 10 Bluegrass Charts and has spurred a successful two-year U.S. and international tour, are embarking on a U.S. winter tour that will hit the Vinyl Music Hall February 4. 

The acclaimed bluegrass rock trio’s journey could be deemed worthy of a novel. Their self-titled 2002 debut album yielded the classic “Old Number Seven,” “Graveyard,” “The Plank,” and more as they organically attracted a diehard following through constant touring. Since then, TDM3 – which features Pete Bernhard, Cooper McBean and MorganEve Swain – has made several appearances on the Billboard Top Bluegrass charts and has received rave reviews from such press outlets as Entertainment Weekly, American Songwriter, and Pastemagazine.

Join us for the 18th Annual Seaside School Half Marathon & 5K weekend Feb. 28th through March 1st in Seaside, FL. All proceeds benefit The Seaside Schools, one of Florida’s first charter schools.

Long Description: One of South Walton’s most popular events, the Seaside® School Half Marathon & 5K takes place Sunday, March 1st beginning at 7:00 AM. Established in 2003 to raise funds for the Seaside® Neighborhood School, the Race has become a huge community affair, drawing in more than 4,000 runners annually from around the world.

Both the 13.1-mile half marathon and the 5K start in downtown Seaside® on Scenic Highway 30-A. As runners line up at the start line within an earshot of the Gulf of Mexico, curious pelicans and the smell of saltwater fill the crisp morning air. From there, runners exit Seaside® and pass through neighboring WaterColor before crossing over picturesque Western Lake and entering the historic beach neighborhood of Grayton Beach. For the half marathoners, the fast and mostly flat course continues along Scenic Highway 30-A through the tranquil Point Washington State Forest and the old Florida beach neighborhood of Blue Mountain Beach before reaching its halfway point at Gulf Place and doubling back another 6.5 miles towards the finish line.

As if the beach views and natural beauty of South Walton weren’t enough, runners will be treated to makeshift cheering sections, signs of encouragement and plenty of water stations along the way. The sounds of the post-race party and awaiting family, friends and spectators greet runners as they approach the finish line back where it all started in downtown Seaside®. Half marathon finishers will receive a unique race medal and gift from long-time race sponsor Vera Bradley. A complimentary beer from Grayton Beer Company and post-race meal from award-winning Seaside® restaurants refuel racers just enough to enjoy the post-race party and awards presentation.

Live music, race awards and the silent auction’s final call entertain the crowds as they stroll the many restaurants and shops of downtown Seaside® or rest their race-tested legs on the amphitheater lawn. A race weekend tradition, the post-race party has become a time to reflect on three days of festivities for runners and non-runners alike and to start planning and setting race goals for the next year’s event while enjoy all that the iconic town of Seaside® has to offer.

For those looking for the Seaside® Race experience with a shorter distance, the 5K offers 3.1 miles of scenic beauty, camaraderie and fun for runners and walkers alike. The timed race is one of the weekend’s most enjoyable events for people of all ages and ability levels.
