Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival

Because of our busy schedules, wedding season, recent hurricanes, etc., we've missed the annual Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival the last few years, but this year we had a weekend off and were able to go. This is a huge event for the city as visitors come from all over the Gulf Coast States. We noticed car tags from MS, LA, GA, FL and even IN, and of course from counties all over the state of AL. The entire boardwalk of downtown Gulf Shores is blocked off and there are literally thousands of people walking the streets to listen to music from the many different bands playing, shop the hundreds of arts and crafts booths, and eat all the seafood that can be eaten in one day!!

Where else could you get shark-on-a-stick?!

Is this what you call a Shrimp Head?

Finishing off the day with a root bear float.

    This reminds me of our North Carolina Seafood festival. The first weekend every October a couple of thousands festival goers invade our small community. It always fun.

    Oh, and you did a great job of capturing the fun and excitement of your event. +++
