Spring Break in SEASIDE®
Our Curfew
To ensure a safe and family-friendly environment, our community will have a town-wide curfew of 7:00 PM CST from March 1 through April 19, 2026, for unaccompanied minors under 18 who are not accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We kindly ask that parents and guardians accompany their children and teens during their visit. While we understand the excitement of independence, SEASIDE® is best experienced as a family, exploring our beautiful beaches, enjoying our locally owned shops and restaurants, and making memories that last a lifetime.
We are proud to offer a full schedule of family-friendly events and entertainment designed to encourage safe, engaging, and community-oriented experiences throughout the week. Guests and locals alike can enjoy weekly Children’s Theater performances in partnership with Emerald Coast Theatre Company, along with concerts for kids featuring the beloved Huck & Lilly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Midweek evenings welcome the return of our DJ Residency with DJ30A on Wednesdays, offering a lively yet welcoming atmosphere in Central Square. Beloved traditions continue with the Seaside Farmers Market, held every Saturday and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, and Central Square Cinema, open on Friday and Sunday evenings for family-friendly movie nights under the stars.
