We’re Rouxing It Again: Gumbo Festival Returns to COASTAL Orange Beach!


Get ready to stir things up - because the 2nd Annual Gumbo Festival is officially on the calendar! Join us at COASTAL Orange Beach on Saturday, November 1st, 2025 from 11 AM - 2 PM for a beachfront celebration of bold flavors, live music, and laid-back coastal vibes.

After the incredible turnout at last year’s inaugural event, we knew we had to bring the magic back. This year, we’re going even bigger - with more gumbo, more music, and more reasons to kick back with a cocktail and soak in those sugar-white sands.


Expect top chefs from across the region serving up their best gumbo creations, from traditional to creative twists that might just surprise your taste buds. Whether you’re a gumbo purist or a flavor explorer, there’s something for everyone. Plus, with live music all day, refreshing cocktails, and unbeatable views of the Gulf, it’s the perfect way to spend a Saturday in Orange Beach.


🗓️ Save the date: November 1st, 2025 · 11 AM - 2 PM


**Team registration and ticketing information will be announced soon **
