Summer is a time to get outside and enjoy the warm sun rays and the lively music. It’s even better to do it on or near a beach like Gulf Shores, Alabama, or surrounding communities like Fort Morgan. The Gulf Shores and extended Alabama Gulf Coast are a hub for awesome live music and fantastic summer festivals.
If you want to attend one or more during the summer, consider lodging with Flip Flop Vacations. We have vacation rentals from Fort Morgan to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, meaning that no matter where you stay, you will not be far away from live music and the sounds of the area’s summer festivals.
