Mark your calendars for a significant day in Inlet Beach as we come together to celebrate the opening of the new Inlet Beach Underpass. On Saturday, September 28th, from 11 AM to 2 PM, 30Avenue will be the backdrop for a day of festivities that honor not only a remarkable feat of local infrastructure but also the spirit of our community.

The new underpass promises to transform the way we navigate across Hwy 98, offering a safe and seamless passage for pedestrians, cyclists, and families. It’s more than just a tunnel—it’s a symbol of progress, collaboration, and the power of community working together toward a shared goal. This event is an opportunity to recognize the dedication and hard work of our local leaders and to enjoy a day filled with celebration, connection, and fun.

The festivities will begin at 11:00 AM with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, live from inside the underpass itself, marking the official opening of this much-anticipated addition to our area. From there, the celebration continues with a lively parade led by the talented young musicians from the Ohana Music Program, setting the tone for a joyful day.

Families will enjoy a range of activities, including creative kids’ crafts to keep the little ones engaged, and live music to elevate the festive atmosphere. And what would a community celebration be without some delicious bites? Lite refreshments will be available throughout the event, ensuring everyone has a chance to indulge while enjoying the day.

This event is not only a tribute to the physical achievement of the underpass but also a celebration of what makes Inlet Beach special—our sense of togetherness. The Underpass Get Down is about more than just an opening ceremony; it’s about acknowledging the collective effort it took to make this project a reality and the positive impact it will have on our daily lives. Whether you walk, bike, or simply want to join in the festivities, we invite you to take part in this momentous occasion.

As we celebrate the completion of this underpass, we look ahead to the many ways it will enhance the safety and connectivity of our community for years to come. A special thank you to our local leaders who made this vision possible, and to all of those who continue to invest in making Walton County a better place to live and thrive.

We look forward to seeing you at the Inlet Beach Underpass Get Down—where safety, community, and celebration come together.
