As we welcome the Spring Break season in SEASIDE®, we want to take a moment to celebrate what makes our community so special: our commitment to family values and the welcoming atmosphere we extend to all who visit. We are honored that so many families choose SEASIDE® as their Spring Break destination, and we deeply appreciate that tradition.

We want to reiterate our stance on unaccompanied minors to maintain the family-friendly environment that makes SEASIDE® such a cherished place. Seaside is designed for families to come together and create lasting memories, and we are committed to preserving that experience.
In preparation for the upcoming season, SEASIDE® hosted collaborative town hall sessions with neighboring communities, including Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, WaterColor, and Old Seagrove. These discussions also included the SEASIDE® Town Council, the Walton County Sheriff's Office, and representatives from short-term rental companies. Together, we established measures to ensure a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all visitors and locals.

As part of these efforts, SEASIDE® will enforce a 7:00 PM CST curfew for unaccompanied minors, under 18, without parental supervision from March 1 through April 19, 2026. We kindly ask that parents and guardians accompany their children and teens during their visit. While we understand the excitement of independence, SEASIDE® is best experienced as a family, exploring our beautiful beaches, enjoying our locally owned shops and restaurants, and making memories that last a lifetime.

As SEASIDE® prepares for the Spring Break season, the town is proud to offer a full schedule of family-friendly events and entertainment designed to encourage safe, engaging, and community-oriented experiences throughout the week. Guests and locals alike can enjoy weekly Children's Theater performances in partnership with Emerald Coast Theatre Company, along with concerts for kids featuring the beloved Huck & Lilly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Midweek evenings welcome the return of our DJ Residency with DJ30A on Wednesdays, offering a lively yet welcoming atmosphere in Central Square. Beloved traditions continue with the Seaside Farmers Market, held every Saturday and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, and Central Square Cinema, open on Friday and Sunday evenings for family-friendly movie nights under the stars.

Together, these thoughtfully programmed events support our commitment to maintaining a safe, enjoyable Spring Break environment while providing meaningful opportunities for families to gather, connect, and experience the town's vibrant cultural offerings.

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the values that make SEASIDE® a beloved tradition for families near and far. Thank you for helping us foster a safe, welcoming environment for all, and we look forward to another wonderful Spring Break season in SEASIDE®.
