is a big deal. This year’s fest opens Thursday, Oct. 12, in Gulf Shores, bringing a four-day spree of food, fun, arts & crafts, music, sand sculpture contests and more.There’s no admission charge. You enjoy Shrimp Fest by walking right on in. It’s easy to find, since it sprawls along the public beach area at the food of Ala. 59. From there you’re free to browse the seafood-centric concessions, well over 100 arts and crafts vendors and other activities.
Top acts in the music lineup include Dr. Zarr’s Amazing Funk Monster and the Troy Laz Band on Thursday; tributes to Elvis Presley, The Eagles, AC/DC and Def Leppard on Friday; and Wet Willie featuring Jimmy Hall and the Velcro Pygmies on Saturday. The Groovinators and Wolfy Grin close out the Sunday lineup.
Although Moberly suggested that arriving early is a good strategy for getting the most out of the event, he also encouraged people to give themselves time to enjoy it.
