Every winter a special group of people grace Alabama's Gulf Coast, these people are affectionately referred to as "Snowbirds." The laid back, do-nothing lifestyle known as retirement finds its way to the back burner as our Snowbirds struggle to find time to do nothing. State club meetings, fishing, volunteering, Golf tournaments, shopping, breakfasts, day trips and sometimes part time employment replace catnaps.
Of course, lazy days still have their appeal. It's up to you.
The winter months offer all types of entertainment from symphonies to theatre, Jazz to Dixieland, you name it. Festivals, parades and art exhibits are aplenty. The Calendar of Events will help you decide how to spend your time while visiting Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Countless people remember with nostalgia the tradition of Guy Lombardo with his Royal Canadians playing at New York City's Waldorf Astoria on New Year's Eve. Since the death of Lombardo in 1977, "Aude Lang Syne" at the stroke of midnight has become a tradition as it is performed by various bands before enthusiastic audiences throughout the world.
