PHOTOS: Ballyhoo Festival brings fine art, Poarch Creek Indians demonstrations to Gulf Shores

Posted

Lake Shelby in Gulf State Park was feeling artsy this weekend for the ninth-annual Ballyhoo Festival.

With 100  art vendors, 10 food vendors, live music, performances by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, a fiddle and banjo competition and a new addition of beer being sold, attendees lined the sidewalks to awe and bring home their favorite pieces.

Fine art vendors ranged from jewelry to paintings to mixed media and even a massive shark, alligator and soldier made out of trash upcycled from the Alabama Gulf Coast’s beaches and natural spaces.
