Join the City of Orange Beach for the 5th Annual Freedom Festival, family-friendly weekend packed with excitement and community spirit at The Wharf. On Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21, Main Street and Wharf Parkway transform into a vibrant celebration, featuring art and craft vendors, entertainment, activities for all ages, the fall edition of the Bama Coast Cruisin’ car show, mouthwatering food options, and more.
