ORANGE BEACH, AL – The City of Orange Beach invites you to a free concert featuring the Baldwin Pops Concert Band.

The event will be Sunday 4:30-6 p.m. on the lawn behind the Orange Beach Senior Center, located at 26251 Canal Road, less than a quarter mile east of Alabama 161.

This will be the “Pops” seventh year to have a concert in Orange Beach. For this event both the Senior Center and library will be open, making for easy access to those who may use wheelchairs or walkers. Plenty of restroom facilities are available.

The Senior Center and Library are located directly on Wolf Bay and offer a commanding waterfront view with beautiful sunsets this time of year. Parking will be available at Waterfront Park for the ‘Pops’ Concert.

The theme for this year’s concert is “Celebrating our Heritage.” Eclectic musical pieces that form our musical heritage, one seasonal theme thrown in for Halloween, circus band music, Dixieland beginnings and jazz history will round out the offering.

Everyone is encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, picnics and beverages. Many family, church, club and community groups can be seen each year using this ‘concert’ opportunity to gather for some fun social time.

The “Checkered Tablecloth Award” will be presented to the group judged to have the most interesting picnic setup and there’s always a ‘kids parade’ through the crowd following the intermission.

This free event is brought to you by the City of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism. For additional information please contact the Orange Beach Parks and Recreation Department, 251-981-1524 or visit www.obparksandrec.com
