Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day Weekend is upon us already and if you are making plans to spend the holiday weekend in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach or Foley, there are some great events and rental specials you don’t want to miss! A fixture to the Alabama Gulf Coast, Lulu’s at Homeport Marina is a guaranteed great time any day of the week, and Memorial Day Weekend is no exception. If you have never been to Lulu’s, be sure to grab a table early on Sunday, May 30th for Lucy Buffett’s 6th Annual LuLu Palooza! This all-ages concert is a Coast360 favorite, complete with musical acts including The New Orleans Radiators, Ilo Ferreira and Grayson Capps and the Stumpknockers. Bringing the kids? No problem! Lulu’s at Homeport Marina is a child’s paradise complete with a sandy play area, games and so much more! And be sure to come hungry – Lulu Buffett knows great food. We recommend the Mahi Fish Tacos or the Fried Green Tomato BLT. From New Orleans funk and soulful music to great food and fun times, Lulu Palooza is a Memorial Day Weekend must-do. For a complete menu and more information about Lulu Palooza visit www.lulusathomeport.com

If great country music is more your style, head on over to the Amphitheater at The Wharf in Orange Beach on Saturday, May 29th to watch Gary Allen, Randy House and The Band Perry perform. If you know country music, you know this is one performance you don’t want to miss. Gates open at 6pm and the show stars at 8pm, but don’t wait until showtime. Instead, come early and peruse the shops at The Wharf. If you are looking for a new bathing suit to show off for the holiday or a cute outfit to wear later in the evening, H2O and H.L Hood have you covered. Men, need a new hat or t-shirt to show off upon your return home?
