Festival season is right around the corner! The Ballyhoo Fine Art & Culture Festival will kick it off at the beautiful Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama on Saturday, March 7 and Sunday, March 8.

The Ballyhoo Festival is a juried fine art festival displaying 110 artists nationwide. The festival features the Poarch Creek Indians, the culture of Early Americana Appalachian music in the form of a fiddle/banjo competition, and so much more!

Live music, food trucks, and the beauty of the Alabama Gulf Coast make the Ballyhoo Festival a must-attend during festival season.

There will be shuttles available at the Gulf State Pier, Gulf State Pavilion and Gulf Shores High School to take patrons to the festival. Handicapped parking will be inside the festival site.

This event is free to the public! We’ll see you March 7 & 8 at Lake Shelby located at 20110 AL-135, Gulf Shores, AL. Stay tuned for more!

This event is made possible in part by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
