Event update

National Shrimp Festival canceled

The Annual National Shrimp Festival has been canceled due to Tropical Storm Isaias and guidance from the City of Gulf Shores Emergency Management Department. Event organizers explored every option to hold the festival this year; however, given the projected high winds, heavy surf, and rain over the weekend, the safety of our residents and visitors remains our top priority.
