It's food, it's art, it's music, it's Alabama's ORIGINAL beach party.

All are invited to the 51st edition of the Annual National Shrimp Festival. What started as a celebration of the local seafood industry has grown into a four day vacation destination.

Since 1971 our festival has been FREE to attend, overlooking the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Come out and join 100,000 of your closest friends to see over 300+ food & art vendors along with two stages showcasing local & national entertainment acts.
