Hooray! It’s the 30A Songwriters Festival and this year, as always, it boasts an incredible line-up of performers and venues. If you’re lucky enough to be here in the Panama City Beach/30A/Destin area from January 11-15th you absolutely have to make plans to attend. This year there are 23 stages along Scenic Highway 30A offering every musical genre.
The 30A Songwriters Festival headquarters is located just West of Seaside at the Watercolor Inn. An updated performance schedule was posted on 1/11/12 but it’s a good idea to check the website for updates as changes may occur. You can pick up a printed schedule at Watercolor Inn or download the schedule here.
The festivities kick off on Wednesday, January 11th with a special pre-festival performance at Fish Out of Water for members of the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County.
Friday, January 13th is the 30A Songwriters Festival kick-off party hosted at Pandora’s. (open to all weekend pass holders) Most of the venues will be open with performances from 6:00-12:00AM.
Saturday starts at 10:00AM and ends at 12:00AM with performances by Matthew Sweet & The Bangles at the Seaside Lyceum.
Start Sunday out right with a gospel brunch at Caliza in Alys Beach…heavenly music and incredible atmosphere! Again, most venues will be open with performances until 12:00AM
