Explore the shops in Seaside or make your way to the pétanque courts as you bid on the go with our new mobile bidding feature.

CHARITIES:
This weekend is truly all about giving back. The proceeds from the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday events all give back to the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation and it's 14 local children's charities, and a portion of the Sunday tickets will benefit the Seaside Neighborhood School.
