Emerald Coast Home & Boat Show | Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10-11
Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center | Admission is FREE
Doors open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday | 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday
October on the Emerald Coast does not exactly slow down. If anything, the local calendar shifts into another gear.
Weekends fill with festivals, concerts, food events and community celebrations. In that busy fall lineup, the 27th Annual Emerald Coast Home & Boat Show offers something distinctly different: a weekend devoted to the homes we maintain, projects we imagine and outdoor lifestyle that makes this area home.
Inside, more than 100 home and general business vendors will offer ideas for projects large and small. It’s a place to ask questions, handle materials, compare options and talk face-to-face with professionals who understand homes and businesses along the Emerald Coast.
Exhibitors will represent nearly every corner of homeownership, including roofing, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, flooring, furniture, windows, doors, generators and landscaping. Visitors can also explore pools and spas, shutters, painting, restoration, remodeling, interior design, kitchen and bath projects, insurance, mortgages and solar energy.
General business and retail exhibitors will feature products and services ranging from computers and mobile phones to health and wellness.
Outside, the focus moves from the home to the water and open road. Emerald Coast Marine, Captains Choice Boats and Camping World are scheduled to bring boats and recreational vehicles to the convention center grounds for a combined display and sale. Guests can step aboard, look around and imagine their next fishing trip, family outing or road-bound adventure.
That combination feels especially at home in Northwest Florida, where home improvement and outdoor living often overlap.
The event is organized by Wes Fell, a 36-year resident of the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area who has organized home and boat shows, business expos, health and job fairs, networking events and music festivals throughout the area. He also supports Networks of Northwest Florida, a free business-networking organization.
For Fell, the Home & Boat Show continues a tradition of bringing local businesses and residents together, allowing companies to explain what they do while homeowners move beyond online searches and speak directly with people who can help bring a project to life.
The show will be held at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center, 1250 Miracle Strip Parkway SE in Fort Walton Beach. Look for our Life Media table, come by to say hi and register for a FREE giveaway!
