If you are sweating in your summer shorts right now, you could also be dreaming of Fall on the Gulf Coast. Not only is the weather near-perfect for a beach vacation, there are also a few amazing events. Here are a few of our favorites:
Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival
Fall into foodie paradise this October 10-13, the 51st year of this premier festival in Coastal Alabama. Enjoy shrimp in any form you can dream of, from chef-reimagined to deep-fried. You will also find local artisans, crafters, restaurateurs, and musicians filling the beach-frontage in Gulf Shores. Check out our Shrimp Festival guide for more.
Orange Beach Freedom Fest
Come visit The Wharf on October 4-5 for a classic car show, Jeep and motorcycle rally, live music, kids activities, live animal encounters, military booths, police and firefighter demonstrations and arts and crafts. This event has grown over the past few years, and we are so excited to attend this year! Click here for more info about Freedom Fest.
Harvest Wine & Food Fest
A four-day celebration that will delight a discerning palate and excite any food and wine enthusiast. Featured celebrity chefs, well-loved vineyards, selected pairings, local artists, and distinctively coastal ambience await at this well-attended event. Tickets are already available online, and a few dinners are already sold out. Find out more about this event and purchase tickets here.
Blue Angels Homecoming Show
Welcome the Blues back to base at this year’s NAS Blue Angels Show. This two-day family event kicks off with a unique nighttime aviation and pyrotechnics show on Friday night. Then, come back Saturday for an entire day of death-defying, air-bending flight stunts. You can also climb in to some of the Navy’s retired planes and helicopters. The event is held at the Naval Aviation Museum at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, which is worth a visit any time of year.
