I would say that 30A has come alive with the arrival of March, but honestly it never really slowed down, at least from an event perspective. As we rolled into the new year it was apparent by traffic on 98 alone, that a combination of snowbirds and home owners in for the holidays whom never left, that the once seasonal 30A was becoming a year round home for many.
And for those choosing to stay through the “cold” months, the question of what to do was really not a question, but more of a decision of which to do. From what many consider to be the first large event of the year, 30A Songwriters Festival was amazing. I know I say this too often, but if you have never been, book your tickets for 2024 now. This is truly a one of a kind, four day extravaganza of great venues and incredible artist and entertainers.
Spring fashion shows, the loved Emerald Ball, and even a newbie to the local event scene, the Butler Bear Bash, have kept the VIP cameras busy. And if there is anything synonymous with spring in South Walton Co, it is wine festivals. This area, know for some of the best wine festivals in the country, kicked off the season with the fabulous, instantly sold-out 30A Wine Festival at Alys Beach. I am not sure which is more alluring, the setting or the wine but both equally fabulous. As I write this letter we approach another relatively new addition to the wine festival agenda, Soiree on the Bay. I anxiously await the hospitably of the Dugas family as they transform their beautiful bay-front estate into a magical weekend under the stars.
I could go on and on about events but I will let the pages of this issue of VIP 30A Magazine speak for itself. In addition to a plethora of events, this is also our annual Health & Beauty issue which is a long running tradition in all of our VIP’s around the South. This is our opportunity to feature the best medical and cosmetic professionals that 30A and South Walton has to offer. These businesses and the medical professionals behind the scenes have dedicated their lives to improving ours. From spas which elevate our overall well being, to cosmetics which keep us younger longer, to critical care providers, we are very blessed to have the level of providers which would rival many metropolitan areas. Of course, we have the advantage of leaving
our favorite practice and being at the beach in 10!
As Pierce Brosnan said “ that’s all the difference in the world.” To have a little fun and see who’s reading my nonsense, dinner for two at Pescado in Rosemary Beach on me, for the first email naming the movie from which I quoted.
I hope you enjoy this issue, our growing team on 30A has put in a lot of hours to bring this to fruition. We hope to see you in front of our cameras at upcoming wine festivals, chamber functions, fashion shows and more. We are the ones running around camera in hand - looking for the next photo op. Be sure to check our our two page calendar of events so you don’t miss a memory!

September/October 2022 Issue
“There is a distinct phrase that is synonymous with fall for me…It’s Football Time in Tennessee! Something about those words takes me back to college days and Knoxville every time I hear it. As I now spend the majority of my time here, I realize that it is football time everywhere. The fact that most people moved to Florida from other cities around the South creates a very exciting place when is comes to collegiate and professional sports. This makes Saturday game days at your favorite local watering hole especially engaging as most any team, especially those in the SEC, will be represented. And I must admit, I catch myself wearing many hats and even a gator head occasionally as long as they are not playing the Vols or Ole Miss. I even caught the words “Roll Tide” come out of my mouth one day, and those used to truly be four-letter words in Tennessee. But in true character of this beautiful place we call home, everyone and every flag is welcome, so get out and support your heritage.
As for where, I can think of a plethora of great places along 30A and around Walton County. One little gem you may not know about is the Marina Bar & Grill in Sandestin, a prime example of every-school-flag present with the outdoor projector screen back in action.
And of course it’s not just about collegiate sports. It all starts with Friday night lights at local high schools all the way to the big stage on Sunday. And there is plenty of competition on the area high school level, so check out the South Walton High School season inside this issue along with the entire SEC schedule. What an exciting time of the year this is as we get ready for fall and weekend tailgating! So whether you are heading to the stadium or gathering around the big screen. dust off the old alma mater jersey and support your team while having a great time with friends and family.
Happy Fall! “
