The inaugural L.O.L. Festival (Love Our Locals) is set to take place at the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, from March 28 to March 30.

This 3-day celebration will showcase the local businesses, artists, food vendors, musicians and community members who make the Gulf Coast a unique destination. With activities ranging from live music to family fun, the festival promises to be an event for all ages.

Held at the picturesque Lake Shelby Picnic Area, the festival will feature a variety of musical genres, including country, classic rock, pop, funk, soul, R&B, and jazz. The music lineup is designed to offer a diverse listening experience, and the front-and-center VIP section will provide a prime view of the performances.

In addition to music, the festival will offer plenty of entertainment for families. A children's area near the playground will include games provided by the Flip City Dance Team from Foley. Proceeds from these games will help fund the team's upcoming dance competition in New York City. The fun continues with a special appearance from Cappy the Clown, ensuring smiles for younger festival-goers.

Festival organizers, Fiestas 4 You, are partnering with local volunteers to create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and residents alike.

Single-day and 3-day tickets are available, with general admission starting at $30. General admission grants access to all areas of the festival except the VIP section, while VIP tickets are limited for an exclusive experience. Children 5 and under can attend for free.
