Bring the entire family for a nostalgic Christmas time tradition. Destin Commons has transformed its streetscape to unveil an educational, interactive “Norman Rockwell Holidays” experience. The Holiday decorations reflect a Norman Rockwell theme throughout – from the spectacular 50’ Christmas tree, to the Santa station, lights twinkling up and down Main Street, Holiday street lamp banners, and exciting life-size interactive multi-media Norman Rockwell vignettes throughout Destin Commons. America’s favorite artist, Norman Rockwell, branded the American Christmas tradition with his nostalgic art which graced the covers of Saturday Evening Post magazines for over a half century from the 1920’s to the l960’s. This is the most unique and memorable Holiday display in Northwest Florida, definitely a must see.
