What's on the Calendar
We like to celebrate on the Alabama Gulf Coast. So, you'll find events in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and nearby towns all year long! We've got everything from parades to plays, billfish to beer, concerts to competitions. Looking for a festival? Immerse yourself in shrimp, sausage, zydeco, or hot air balloons. Come to the Coast, experience each season, and revel in...well, the revelry!
