National Shrimp Festival gears up for 50th Anniversary
For the 50th edition of the National Shrimp Festival, organizers are getting ready for the largest yet at the annual beach party on Oct. 12-15 at the public beach in Gulf Shores.
“We’re going to have 41 bands, more than 30 food vendors, close to 300 vendors,” Shrimp Festival Chairman Andrew Hart told the city council on Aug. 28. “The footprint is a little bit larger this year just due to all the interest that we have and a lot based off of the success that we had last year. We’re looking forward to another great year.”
