While autumn brings cooler temps and changing leaves elsewhere, The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach is celebrating the season with a different kind of charm. Bringing fall flair to the Florida shoreline, the resort will host its FALLing for The Coast Fall Festival on November 15 from 2–5 p.m. — a family-friendly afternoon of festive fun set against the backdrop of sugar-white sand and emerald waters.

Guests and locals alike can enjoy live music, seasonal treats, lawn games, and a curated vendor market featuring local artisans. Kids will love the face painting and fall crafts, while adults can sip on themed cocktails and soak up the laid-back beach vibes. It’s a perfect way to experience the Gulf Coast’s quieter season while still embracing the spirit of fall.

The festival is open to the public, complimentary for resort guests, and open to locals with tickets or a day pass (starting at $25; military and family packages available).
