The Third Annual Artful Night Under the Stars gala is back by popular demand on Saturday, February 22 from 6 pm to 9 pm at V Seagrove. Sipping wine on the V terrace overlooking Scenic 30A and the Gulf of Mexico is always fabulous. Add to that a posh party with gulf coast cuisine, live music, and incredible local art pieces.

This year the organizers will present 60 pieces of original art, all available for auction, with the proceeds benefiting early childhood education Tree House Episcopal Montessori School. 

If there is one food that sums up Gulf Coast goodness it just may be a good pot of gumbo. One thing we know for sure is that we love a good bowl, and you can get yourself one of the best in the world right here in SoWal at the Sandestin Gumbo Festival.
