The city of Orange Beach is getting ready for its fifth annual Freedom Festival that takes place one month from today. This year’s festival will be held at The Wharf, a popular destination for community gatherings and entertainment. Families can expect two days of patriotic celebrations, classic cars, live music, and activities for all ages. The festival is known for honoring the U.S. Armed Forces and supporting military and veteran groups that serve the nation.

Set to take place on Saturday, September 20, and Sunday, September 21, the Freedom Festival offers something for everyone. Each day features the Bama Coast Cruisin' Fall Car Show on Main Street, drawing car enthusiasts from across the region for a display of polished rides. In addition, the Gulf Coast Gun Collectors Association will host its second annual Firearms Show at the Orange Beach Event Center during both days. The festival opens Saturday from 9am to 5pm and continues Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
