The Orange Beach Festival of Art is the island's first rite of spring, a celebration of visual, literary, performing, musical and culinary arts. Two stages carry music and entertainment, and juried artists sell their work. The city's page says the show has won best art show in Alabama three times in five years.

- Arrive between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Saturday or 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM on Sunday.

What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-10-28.
The City of Orange Beach's Festival of Art page says there is no entrance fee and calls the festival completely free, with shuttle service from two local lots.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
The city's page does not name the festival grounds, and the Gulf Shores tourism listing places the show at Orange Beach Waterfront Park, so confirm the entrance before you drive.
