October 17 – October 18, 2026 · 12 events
This weekend in Gulf Shores, Alabama brings 12 live events across the city — from music. Here's what's on.
Gulf Shores turns its white-sand beach into one of the country's most distinctive festival grounds each May, when the Hangout Music Festival brings major headliners to stages set directly on the Gulf. The rest of the year, the live entertainment calendar runs on beach-bar energy — the Flora-Bama, the legendary roadhouse straddling the Alabama-Florida line, hosts live music daily and the gloriously absurd Interstate Mullet Toss each April. The National Shrimp Festival each October draws hundreds of thousands for seafood, art, and outdoor concerts. Snowbird season keeps venues humming with acoustic acts even through the quieter winter months.
5 events are listed for Sunday, including 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND @ BIG BEACH at Big Beach Brewing, Sunday Jazz w/ Lisa Zanghi at The Galway Irish Public House, Peek-A-Boo Art Party at Swiger Studio (2:00 PM), 10th Anniversary Live Music: The New Cahoots at Big Beach Brewing. Events that start earlier in the weekend may still be running Sunday; open an event for its current schedule.
