The Weekend Lineup: April 10-12
Upper 70s, sunny skies, zero rain — a perfect weekend on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The L.O.L. Festival kicks off at Gulf State Park, OWA has the biggest car show of the spring, and the crawfish are boiling in Foley.
Friday
L.O.L. Festival -- Meyer Park, Gulf Shores, 4:00 PM CDT
The Laughter Out Loud Festival takes over Meyer Park for the weekend with live music, comedy, food vendors, and a family-friendly vibe. Saucy FuzZ headlines Friday evening. This is one of the bigger spring festivals on the coast and the location at Gulf State Park is hard to beat.
Sugarcane Jane at The Book Cellar -- Page & Palette, Fairhope, 5:30 PM CDT
Anthony Crawford and Savana Lee bring their Americana/roots sound to the intimate Book Cellar stage in downtown Fairhope. Sugarcane Jane is one of the best live acts on the Eastern Shore — if you have not seen them in this setting, do not miss it. Grab a book before the show.
Hannah Dasher -- OWA Parks & Resort, Foley, 6:30 PM CDT
The Nashville singer-songwriter brings her mix of country and Southern rock to the OWA Theater stage. Dasher has been building serious buzz on the touring circuit and this is a great chance to catch her in an intimate venue before the bigger rooms come calling.
Trio Live at Portside -- Portside at The Wharf, Orange Beach, 5:00 PM CDT
Live music on the waterfront at The Wharf — one of the best spots to watch the sunset with a drink in your hand. The Wharf is buzzing on Friday evenings this time of year, and Portside is the anchor.
Friday Night Karaoke -- OWA Parks & Resort, Foley, 5:00 PM CDT
After Hannah Dasher's show, stick around for karaoke night at OWA. The resort has been stacking Friday night programming all spring and the energy in Downtown OWA is worth the drive to Foley.
Saturday
Gulf Coast Mustang & Mega Car Show -- Downtown OWA, Foley, 9:00 AM CDT
The 46th annual Gulf Coast Regional Mustang & Mega Car Show takes over Downtown OWA with hundreds of classic and modern Mustangs plus a mega car show open to all makes. This is one of the longest-running car events in Baldwin County and draws enthusiasts from across the Gulf South. Free to spectate.
LAGOONFEST 2026 -- Icehouse Tap Room, Gulf Shores, 11:00 AM CDT
A full-day tribute to local musicians at the Icehouse Tap Room in Gulf Shores. Multiple bands, all local talent, and the kind of day-drinking-in-the-sun Saturday that the coast does best. Get there early — the patio fills up fast.
Spring Homes Tour -- Eastern Shore Art Center, Fairhope, 10:00 AM CDT
The ESAC Spring Homes Tour opens some of the most beautiful private homes on the Eastern Shore. This is a once-a-year chance to see inside Fairhope's architecturally stunning residences. Tickets go through the Art Center — they usually sell out by Saturday morning, so buy early.
Crawfish Boil -- American Legion Post 99, Foley, 11:00 AM CDT
It is crawfish season and the American Legion in Foley is doing it right. Boiled crawfish, cold beer, and good company. These legion boils tend to sell out the crawfish before 2 PM, so do not show up fashionably late.
Pilates & Prosecco -- The Wharf, Orange Beach, 9:00 AM CDT
Start your Saturday with a workout and a glass of bubbly at The Wharf in Orange Beach. Gulf Babe hosts this monthly event and it has become one of the most popular wellness gatherings on the coast.
Author Event: Micah House -- Page and Palette, Fairhope, 12:00 PM CDT
Page and Palette continues its run as one of the best independent bookstores in the South with a Saturday author event. Come for the signing, stay for the browsing — this shop is a Fairhope institution.
Sunday
Masters Watch Party -- Embassy Suites, Gulf Shores, 9:00 AM CDT
It is Masters Sunday. Watch the final round on the big screens at Embassy Suites in Gulf Shores with drink specials and a crowd that actually cares about every putt. If you are a golf fan, this beats watching alone on your couch.
Mobile Bay Maker's Market -- Mobile Bay Maker's Market, Fairhope, 9:00 AM CDT
Sunday morning market in Fairhope with local artisans, makers, and craftspeople. A great way to ease into the day before brunch.
Brynn and Bones at LuLu's -- LuLu's Gulf Shores, Gulf Shores, 5:00 PM CDT
Close out the weekend with live music at LuLu's — the quintessential Gulf Shores Sunday evening. Brynn and Bones bring acoustic vibes, the sunsets are free, and the bushwackers are always cold.
