Musical Echoes Flute Festival is returning to the newly renovated Fort Walton Beach Landing the weekend of April 24 through 26 after last year’s absence due to construction at the park. The festival begins at 10 a.m. each day and admission is free. 

First held in 2001, this year’s festival is the 25th Anniversary and is guaranteed to be outstanding. As a premier Native American flute, art and cultural event, it will showcase award-winning musical performers and Native American dancers in colorful regalia. Authentic Native American arts and crafts vendors as well as food vendors add to the experience. Musical Echoes is an exciting family-friendly and alcohol-free event providing everyone a special opportunity to immerse themselves in Native American culture. 

A stellar line-up of performers will be on the newly renovated stage during the entire festival. With the beautiful Santa Rosa Sound as a backdrop, the unique sound of the Native American flute is magical and the dancers mesmerizing. In addition to seeing Native American culture and heritage come alive, there will be time to engage with the performers and take photos, interact with the arts and craft vendors and talk with flute makers who can help you choose the perfect flute. Flute lessons will also be available during the festival.

On Friday, the festival will open with a special children’s show and the grand opening ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. The festival concludes on Sunday at 4 p.m.
