A Great Way to See Your Favorite Artists and Discover New Ones
Many people come to the 30A Songwriters Festival to see some of their favorite artists perform, but it’s also a great way to discover other, lesser-known musicians. Each January, the festival brings a stellar lineup of Americana, country, blues, alternative, and folk songwriters and performers to South Walton County. Normally, there are over 100 songwriters and close to 300 performances over the course of the event’s three-day duration. Be sure to check this year’s lineup to see who is coming to town!

A Fundraiser
The 30A Songwriters Festival isn’t just a great time; it’s a fundraiser, too! All proceeds from the festival benefit the local nonprofit, Cultural Arts Alliance, which assists in perpetuating the area’s musical and creative excellence. After all, 30A is much more than a beautiful beach destination. The festival is a critical part of the Cultural Art Alliance’s mission, so it’s an event you can feel great about attending.
