Alabama Gulf Shores / Orange Beach
Calendar of Events

If you need a little more action than just turning over every 30 minutes, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer plenty of activity. From music to history, sports to festivals, parades to plays, we'll give you plenty to do all year-round.

Of course, doing nothing but rolling over every half hour has some definite appeal too. It's all up to you.

Fall back on our Coast...
Fall in love with Alabama's Gulf Coast... where our idea of autumn color is rows of golden-brown sea oats framing the spectacular orange and pinks of lingering sunsets and glistening white sand. Summer into fall, we've got it all! In October, join us for the world-renowned Annual National Shrimp Festival. Fabulous seafood, arts and crafts, and music make this the event of the season. Fall fishing is fantastic! The month-long October Fishing Rodeo offers fun and great prizes. In November, listen as local songwriters croon their hearts out at the Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival.
