Food Trucks

We hope you bring you appetite to this festival! Various food trucks from across the Southeast set up along the green lawn at Gulf Place, serving up lots of incredible cuisine. From finger-licking barbecue and fully dressed hotdogs to fresh seafood and sweet treats, there is something to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.

Craft Beer

What goes better with a beachside meal than a cold beer? You can pair your food truck purchases with a craft beer from Alabama breweries at one of the drink tents. Whether you like ales, stouts, sours, or porters, there’s a brew for you.

Festival Fun

Great food and drinks aren’t the only reasons to attend the festival. Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy lawn games, arts and craft vendors, and kids’ booths. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets, so you can comfortably relax, watch the waves, and chow down. The festival is also in the heat of football season, so wear your favorite team’s gear! There’s nothing like game day on the beach.
