Seaside FL Events in November 2026: Your Evening Guide
October 15, 2026
October 15, 2026
From Halloween into mid-December, Seaside's free town events cluster in one window: late afternoon, between about 4 and 6 p.m. The Wednesday concerts move into that window in November. Halloween in Central Square starts at 4. Turn on the Town starts at 3, and Santa's December photo sessions run 4 to 6. In October the shared calendar still ran from an 8:30 a.m. yoga class to a 7 p.m. movie. November cuts both ends and moves the middle earlier.
The last day of October may be the busiest single day on Seaside's fall calendar, and it's also the last day of the October schedule. The daily Vinyasa Yoga class meets at 8:30 a.m. The Seaside events calendar lists that class every day from March 1 through October 31, 2026, weather permitting. The Saturday Farmers Market runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Amphitheater. Halloween in Seaside fills Central Square from 4 to 7 p.m. This year's theme is "Golden Ticket," a candy-colored wonderland. Then Central Square Cinema starts a movie on the Amphitheater lawn at 7 p.m.
That is four separate gatherings, from breakfast to after dark. The week before brings its own anchor. The Annual Halloweener Derby, Seaside's dachshund race and dog costume contest, takes over Saturday, October 24. The event page lists it from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the costume contest at 9 and the race after. Seaside's August fall guide gave 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. instead, so check the listing before you leash up.
Daylight saving time ends the next morning, Sunday, November 1, and the town's schedule changes with it.
| Recurring series | Late October 2026 | November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyasa Yoga | Daily, 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. | Season ends October 31 |
| Sounds of Seaside | Wednesdays, 5 to 7 p.m. | Wednesdays, 4 to 6 p.m. |
| Seaside Farmers Market | Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Amphitheater | Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Amphitheater |
| Central Square Cinema | Fridays, 7 p.m. | Not yet on Seaside's calendar |
The concert is the clearest shift. In October, Sounds of Seaside runs Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m., with Roman Street on October 7 and Max McCann on October 14. The November listing moves the series to 4 to 6 p.m. in Central Square. The lineup is Max McCann on November 4, Flow Tribe on November 11, Roman Street on November 18 and BOUKOU GROOVE on November 25. The series asks guests to bring blankets and chairs. In November, the music now ends around the time it used to begin.
The Farmers Market doesn't change. Its posted schedule runs on Saturdays only in every month except June and July, when a Tuesday market is added. Hours stay at 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine unless weather makes conditions unsafe. The market is the one fixed point on the weekly calendar from August through December.
Central Square Cinema is still unconfirmed. Seaside's fall guide calls the Friday 7 p.m. movie a tradition that carries into fall. Seaside's own calendar lists October films but hasn't posted November dates yet. Homeowners Collection’s Seaside event listing shows The Grinch on Friday, November 27, at 8 p.m., an hour later than the October start time. Until the official calendar confirms it, plan on checking before you head out with a blanket on a Friday.
A few smaller October items are worth catching before the switch. Free Beach Volleyball was listed for October 8 and October 13, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Emerald Coast Theatre Company's Dragons Love Tacos is the Fall Children's Theater Show, listed at 5 p.m. on October 3, 10 and 17. One outside listing reported the October 10 show canceled, so confirm that date before you go. On Monday, October 12, Colombia and Company marks its first year in the Seaside Pop-Up District with a gathering from 10 a.m. to noon.
In the first full week of November, the 34th Seeing Red Wine Festival takes over the town. It runs November 5 through 8, 2026. Most of its ticketed events fit the same afternoon-and-morning pattern as the free calendar:
The ticket page also lists Friday and Saturday bundles, $650 for general admission and $900 for VIP before fees, though both currently show a waitlist link instead of a purchase option. Buy through the festival's own ticket page. Prices and availability can change as the weekend gets closer.
For anyone who isn't attending, the timing matters more than the prices. The Grand Tasting fills Central Square on a Saturday afternoon. That same morning, the Farmers Market runs in the Amphitheater from 9 to 1, and the Battle of the Somms runs at the OBE Pavilion until noon. The Wednesday before the festival, Max McCann opens the November concert series at 4 p.m. That makes November 4 through 8 the busiest stretch of the month in the town center.
The month ends with Seaside's biggest free event. The SEASIDE® Holiday Parade & Turn on the Town is listed for Saturday, November 28, from 3 to 8 p.m., based at 2227 E County Highway 30A. The official page still says more details are to come. In past years, Seaside has described the day as a parade along 30A plus the lighting of the town's Christmas tree, hosted by the Merchants of Seaside. An outside Seaside event listing puts the parade's start at 3 p.m. in Seagrove Plaza, heading down 30A, and lists a Central Square party alongside it. Seaside's own page hasn't posted its 2026 run-of-show, so the tree-lighting time isn't confirmed yet.
The five-hour window does show the shape of the day. It starts in afternoon light, like the November concerts, and runs well past dark. That gives the tree lighting a full evening after the parade crowd arrives.
The holiday weeks keep the same timing. The Seaside Holiday Market comes to Central Square on two days: Saturday, December 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, December 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The listing is still accepting applications from local artisans and makers. Complimentary Photos with Santa run December 12 through 20, 4 to 6 p.m., at 2227 E County Highway 30A.
That is the same 4 to 6 slot the Wednesday concerts use all November. Through the end of fall, the free calendar is short:
The November movie dates, the Seeing Red dinner at Bud & Alley's and the full Turn on the Town schedule still need official details. The Seaside events calendar will have them first.
If you're coming to Seaside for Seeing Red weekend or Turn on the Town and want to know how the town feels from late fall into the holidays, I'd love to compare notes. Jennifer Drew with JD Buy The Sea follows this calendar closely and is happy to talk about the quieter months on 30A whenever you're ready. Let's Connect.
