Destin Songwriter Festival
October 10-11, 2025
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Florida’s Emerald Coast, where sugar-white sands meet crystal-clear Gulf waters, the Inaugural Destin Songwriter Festival is more than an event — it's a celebration of stories, soul, and the songs that shape us.
Join us as acclaimed songwriters from around the country gather in one of the most beautiful beach towns in the world to share the heart behind the hits. From intimate acoustic sets to unforgettable beachfront performances, every stage becomes a window into the creative spirit, where lyrics come to life and melodies carry meaning.
Whether you're a passionate music lover, a curious storyteller, or just here to soak in the sun and sound, this festival promises an experience as unforgettable as the scenery itself.
Come for the coast. Stay for the stories. Leave inspired.

We are proud to be partnered with operation song
We are honored to welcome Operation Song as our headlining performance on Friday, October 10th. Their mission brings professional songwriters together with veterans, active-duty service members, and their families to turn their stories into powerful songs. We are deeply proud to have them as part of our inaugural festival, shining a spotlight on some of the finest men and women in our community who have served our great nation.
A portion of proceeds from the Destin Songwriter Festival will be donated to Operation Song, to Empower Veterans, Active-Duty Military, and their families to tell their stories through the process of songwriting.
