Parking

Parking is first come, first serve basis at and around the festival site. The festival site is surrounded by privately owned businesses and private residential houses/condos.

These owners control the parking and parking fees on their property, not the Coastal Alabama Business Chamber, Annual National Shrimp Festival, or the City of Gulf Shores.
​
We strongly recommend festival attendees take advantage of the shuttle service.


ADA Accessible Lot

Those with appropriate permits will be allowed in an accessible lot located on West 1st Ave. Space in this area is available on a first come, first served basis.

Shuttle Services

Our Shrimp Festival shuttle buses are operated by the City of Gulf Shores School System.

Wristbands can be purchased online before the festival or at shuttle stops for $5 a day. These wristbands entitle the holder to unlimited rides to and from the festival grounds on the day of purchase.

NOTE: PER STATE LAW, CHILDREN UNDER 5 ARE NOT ALLOWED ON OUR SHUTTLE BUSES.

NO CASH WILL BE ACCEPTED WHEN PURCHASING SHUTTLE WRISTBANDS. CARDS ONLY, THANK YOU!
