Tax-Free Shopping Weekend

Not everyone looks forward to school starting back but there is one good thing we can all enjoy: tax-free weekend! Each year when summer ends, most states have a weekend before school is in session where you can purchase clothes as well as school supplies and not have to worry about adding tax to your total. For Destin, Florida, the dates for no tax are August 5th-7th. We can expect the Destin Commons and Silver Sands Premium Outlet Mall to be extra packed but with good reason. The Outlet Mall features over 100 stores including: J. Crew, Pac Sun, GAP, and Banana Republic. The Destin Commons has over 90 stores and restaurants including: American Eagle, Belk, Hollister, and Forever 21.

Both shopping centers have plenty of places to stop for snacks, lunch, drinks, or dessert to make it an enjoyable day for everyone. At the end of your shopping trip, try the Commons’ movie theatre or take the kids to the Outlet Mall playground. The malls are also convenient to Destin vacation rentals as well as the beaches of Northwest Florida. Along with these popular shopping centers, there are many more options for back-to-school clothes such as Ross, Marshall’s, Plato’s, and Old Navy. Enjoy your tax-free weekend and the last days of summer vacation!
