Orange Beach, AL. — (GSN) — The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber is bringing the Coastal Christmas Market back to the Orange Beach Event Center. This free event features over 30 vendors offering handmade crafts, fine art, and unique gifts, proudly highlighting our local artists and small businesses.

The market is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, November 21 and 22, 2026. This time of year is especially vital, as many of our local artists make their annual budget during the holiday season. The local economy was built on small businesses; while some have grown over time, they all started small and right here on the island. Supporting them sustains the heartbeat of our community, and every Christmas tree in the area should have at least one gift from a local handmade craft this year.

Greg Alexander, President and CEO of the Coastal Alabama Business Chamber, noted the value of the gathering. "Community events like our Coastal Christmas Market are vital for bringing people together and supporting local businesses," Alexander said. "We are excited to provide a festive atmosphere for all ages to enjoy while shopping for something special."

Make sure to mark your calendar for this two-day event to celebrate the season and support the artisans who make our region unique.

Those interested in becoming a vendor can apply online at Coastal Alabama Business Chamber or contact CABC Special Events VP Steve Jones directly at 251.968.5349 for more information.
