The city runs a free two-day festival at The Wharf, and the Bama Coast Cruisin' car show fills Main Street and Wharf Parkway inside it. It has arts and crafts, food vendors, patriotic and military booths, a kids zone, live music, and a Marshals Mardi Gras motorcycle and Jeep rally. The car show parades to the beach at 3 PM on Sunday. General admission to the festival and car show is free. The Gulf Coast Gun Collectors Association's firearms show inside it charges its own separate ticket, $10 cash or $11 by credit; kids 10 and under free.
