Your Feb. 21-23, 2014 Weekend Entertainment Guide

Your weekend may see a few minor showers in the Fort Walton Beach/Destin area, but the temperatures are reported by www.weather.com to be in the upper 60s for the high and mid 50s for the low, with a chance of rain on Friday and Sunday. Even though it may be a wet weekend, the temperature will still be beautiful, so get outside when it’s dry and have a blast whether it be at the park, beach, open-air shopping mall, or just staying in your neighborhood and going for a relaxing walk.



Also, be sure to check out the new Margaritaville location on the Destin Harbor. The food, view and service are all spectacular!


Have a beachy weekend!
