Seafood Fest

Mark your calendars for the 35th Annual Orange Beach Seafood Festival on Saturday, February 27, 2027!

===========================

The 34th Annual Orange Beach Seafood Festival was held at the Wharf on Saturday, February 28, 2026. The event ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

The car show is the major fundraising event for MAAAC, which directly benefits Orange Beach schools.  

Each year, more than 20,000 people attend the overall festival.

The Seafood Festival always features a full day of delicious food, 100 arts and crafts booths, music for the whole family to enjoy, a Kids' Zone with activities, and a huge car show - featuring antique, classic and hot rod vehicles all along Main Street. 

There is no admission charge to the event and plenty of parking. Volunteers from Orange Beach schools help park cars and donations are accepted in support of our schools.

FREE shuttles also run from Orange Beach Middle/High School from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., depending on demand. Shuttle pickup is at the school bell tower and drop off is at the front circle on Main Street at The Wharf. 

Car Show

All funds raised from the car show benefit MAAAC. Trophies will be awarded at 3:00 PM on event day for many categories! Pre-registration has closed but on-site registration will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday, near Heron Pointe at 4985 Wharf Pkwy East.

Arts and Crafts

There's always something for everyone at the Seafood Festival's Arts & Crafts booths, including handmade jewelry, metalwork, mixed media, painting, photography, leather, pottery, sculpture, specialty goods, and woodwork. The arts and crafts and food vendors are in the west parking lot, behind the movie theatre. 

The 2026 arts and crafts vendor application period is now CLOSED.

Food

As always, there will be a wide variety of seafood selections at the festival. In the west parking lot behind the movie theater, food vendors will be serving seafood dishes and specialty snacks.

Don’t miss out on a Crawfish and Shrimp Boil on Main Street and in the Arts and Crafts area - it is always a sellout! 

There will be two Pepsi stations run by Orange Beach City School volunteers and the Coastal Alabama Business Chamber will run beer booths on Main Street and by the music stage.

The 2026 food vendor application period is now CLOSED.
