October on the Alabama Gulf Coast is packed with some of our favorite local traditions. 🍤🎃🏃♀️
From the National Shrimp Festival and Haunted Hustle 5K to Boo at the Zoo, Parrot Heads in Paradise, and Halloween at The Hangout, there’s plenty happening this month in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
Whether you’re a longtime local, new to the area, or just visiting, October is a great time to get out and enjoy the community. Save this list and make plans for a little fall fun on the Gulf Coast!
