The 32nd Annual Orange Beach Seafood Festival and MAAAC Car Show is set to take place at The Wharf on February 24th. This popular event, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be extended until 5 p.m. this year with additional activities at Marlin Circle, including the Mystics Mardi Gras group's Jeep Drawdown and live music.


Car enthusiasts can register their vehicles for the show at the MAAAC website, with a registration fee of $75. This year's event introduces a new Jeep Category, and over 10 trophies are up for grabs. The car show serves as a significant fundraiser for the Makos Academics Arts & Athletics Club (MAAAC), directly supporting Orange Beach City Schools.


In addition to the car show, attendees have a chance to win a Jeep Wrangler. The Mystics’ Jeep Drawdown offers entries at $100 each, with a limit of 1,000 tickets available. These can be purchased on the Mystic of Pleasure's website.


The festival, attracting over 15,000 visitors annually, promises a day filled with seafood, cars, and entertainment. For more information, visit the official event page.
