The Merchants of Seaside invite you to “Turn on the Town” on Nov. 27 & 28. Combine the small-town atmosphere of a beach community parade, throw in a dash of Santa Claus, and mix with the official lighting of a remarkable town on Florida's Emerald Coast, and you have the perfect makings to kick off the holiday season in beautiful Seaside. 

It's a party at the brand-new Trebeaché at Redfish Village in Blue Mountain Beach and you're invited! This Saturday evening on Nov. 21 is the Tommypalooza benefit dinner and concert to support Tom Ford and his wife Shareen.

Marie’s Bistro is a very popular spot for dining and fun in SoWal. We like to belly up to the bar for happy hour. We've been known to stay at the bar well past happy hour until some serious karaoke kicks in. And it is the best thing ever.
