While most of the United States deals with winter weather, shoveling snow, and difficult driving conditions, vacationers traveling to Gulf Shores, AL, during February enjoy temperatures in the low seventies, sunny skies, and fantastic local events such as the Orange Beach Seafood Festival & Car Show. Held Feb. 23, this event is beloved by locals and tourists alike, offering an entire day of great food, live music, and fun activities. Here are a few details about the event so you can make your beach vacation memorable. 

Orange Beach Seafood Festival & Car Show

If you care about supporting local causes, the Orange Beach Seafood Festival & Car Show is the perfect destination for your family. The goal of this annual event is to raise funds for local sports-related activities, such as youth softball, baseball, and T-Ball. The money raised helps pay for clinics, uniforms, insurance, and new equipment.   

If you’re looking to spice up your beach vacation, stop by from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to enjoy free admittance to this outdoor festival. Guests will be able to enjoy a variety of delicious seafood vendors, arts and crafts booths, a silent auction, a car show, and even a Kids Zone area with a climbing wall, inflatable bounce houses, and a performance area where you can enjoy shows throughout the day.
