GRAMMY-winner Vince Gill will headline a free outdoor “Back to the Beach” concert Saturday, Sept. 25, from the beautiful Beaches of South Walton along Florida’s Northwest Gulf Coast. Fans are invited to bring their beach blankets and low-back chairs to enjoy this casual concert amidst the relaxed and scenic setting at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
“We’re showing thanks to our visitors and residents with the opportunity to experience the musical talents of legendary Vince Gill,” said Dawn Moliterno, executive director of the Beaches of South Walton TDC. “We hope this will entice those who have never been to our destination with an added incentive to come and see our beautiful beaches and communities, as well as welcome back our loyal visitors who may not have made it here this summer.”
Set to the backdrop of the Choctawhatchee Bay, the free outdoor concert will be held at the award-winning The Links Golf Course driving range at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. Gates will open at 4 p.m. so guests can come early to set out their beach blankets. The concert will begin at 6 p.m.
The free show will be a ticketed event. Those who wish to secure a ticket will have one of three options: (1) register online at www.backtothebeach2010.com, (2) obtain tickets when booking stays and packages through Beaches of South Walton lodging partners, or (3) visit the Beaches of South Walton Visitor Information Center.
Vince Gill, popular country singer and member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, is a fan of the area’s beautiful beaches and charming beach communities.
“We are so pleased and thankful that he has committed to headlining the ‘Back to the Beach’ concert,” said Moliterno. “His support will help communities along Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast with the economic recovery we so desperately need while proving that these beaches are as beautiful as ever.”
Gill, one of the most popular and most recorded country singers of the past quarter-century, is expected to play a 90-minute show. He has sold more than 26 million albums and has received 20 GRAMMY awards throughout his career. For more information on Vince Gill, visit www.VinceGill.com.
Ample parking at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort will be available for all concert goers, including those not staying on property. Shuttle service from various locations throughout Beaches of South Walton is being investigated in order to provide concert attendees with free and easy access to the event.
For those looking for another reason to attend the free concert, anyone who books three nights or more for a stay by September 30, 2010, will receive either a $250 gift card for shopping at Silver Sands Factory Stores, the nation’s largest designer outlet center, or for future travel on Southwest Airlines. Low-cost direct flights are available to the destination by Southwest.
The rewards program is good only for stays with official Beaches of South Walton lodging partners listed on the accommodations section of the destination’s website. Gift cards will be distributed at the Beaches of South Walton Visitor Information Center to guests with a printed and dated deposit receipt, the paid receipt from their three-night stay, which includes promotional code (BSW250) and valid driver’s license.
These incentive programs are on a first-come, first -serve basis, while supplies last. Funding for the concert and rewards program was made possible through a grant from BP.
