School is out for summer and the Memorial Day holiday weekend is a fantastic way to kick off summer with the family. There's no shortage of fun events happening all weekend long. The Wharf and OWA have an entire weekend of events planned. Start Friday with the Pepsi Beach Ball Drop at The Wharf, catch a movie on the bluff in Fairhope Saturday and end with a patriotic concert by The Baldwin Pops at OWA.
