About this event
Kick off the holiday season in style at Baytowne Wharf's beloved annual tradition: an outdoor screening of The Polar Express on the lush Events Plaza Lawn. Set against the charming backdrop of Sandestin's Village on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, this free family event wraps the magic of the season in warm Florida sunshine and Gulf Coast holiday cheer.
Bring a blanket, spread out on the lawn, and let the whole family get swept away on a whimsical train ride to the North Pole. It's one of the most heartwarming ways to ease into the holiday spirit, especially for young children who've never seen snow but can dream of jingle bells by the Emerald Coast.
After the film, stroll Baytowne's festively decorated shops and restaurants to continue the holiday magic. The Village is already lit up for the season, making the whole afternoon feel like stepping into a snow globe — minus the cold
What to expect: Free outdoor screening of The Polar Express on the Events Plaza Lawn from 1-4 PM; bring blankets and chairs for lawn seating; holiday-decorated Baytowne Village to explore before and after
Planning tip: Arrive by 12:30 PM to claim your spot on the lawn
