The Destin Seafood Festival was back and better than ever this year! The fact that it was brought back to the Destin Harbor is in itself a great thing, but the food and the live music was equally impressive. We really enjoyed The Commadors -- it was like being transformed back to the 70's when synchronized performers and butterfly-collared leisure suits were cool.
I have to say that although the new Emerald Grande monstrosity really ticked me (and several thousand locals) off, it's pretty cool and has brought a new up-scale night-life scene back to the Harbor. One of the nice new places is Pat O'Brien's, a popular restaurant that serves Irish/American style food and has been made famous by its signature New Orleans drink, The Hurricane.
Seafood Festival 2008 was a hit and I look forward to next year's now more than ever before!
