Coastal Rainy Weekend Activities
Puffer Thompson • December 2, 2023
Feeling rained out? The forecast still calls for fun.
Don’t let this weekend’s wet weather along the Gulf Coast spoil your holiday merriment. While things like Foley’s Let It Snow event and the Foley Christmas parade have been canceled for today, they’re being rescheduled for next weekend and promise to be a wonderful time for all.
As for the next few days, there are still plenty of places to go and things to do. Here’s a small sampling to give you some ideas, so grab an umbrella and go enjoy these favorite local spots over the weekend.
Santa doesn’t just eat cookies. He knows breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and families are invited to join him Saturday, December 2nd from 8-11 for breakfast and photos. It’s $6 for kids and $12 for adults. And be sure to stick around for lunch when Santa’s Reindeer will be giving free rides with your lunch from 11-4.
From smoked bacon waffle bites to their eggcellent toast points, brunch at Blues Burger proves there’s more to their name than burgers. It’s a delicious way to spend a rainy morning drinking coffee and planning the rest of your day.
Hard to believe football season is nearly over, but not before one last Saturday full of action with college championships on the line. Rainy weather is the perfect excuse to sit inside at Zeke’s Landing for their Touchdown & Tacos event from 10am-10pm. Facepaint optional.
Join Paula Ann DeMonico Saturday Dec 2nd from 1pm-2pm as she reads her new children's book, Birdie Beat. This Bilingual Musical Picture Book, written & illustrated by Paula Ann, is published by Wingbeat Publishing & is available on Amazon as a paperback & as a Kindle E-book: https://grabify.link/KZAXDG
The Factory in Gulf Shores offers an ideal retreat from the rain for families seeking indoor entertainment. With its variety of trampolines, foam pits, and arcade games, it promises hours of fun and activity for kids of all ages.
Come out and laugh the night away during Brandon Styles LIVE at OWA from 7pm-8:15pm. It’s family-friendly entertainment including comedy, dancing, ventriloquism, over 60 impressions, magic, and more. No joke, you don’t want to miss this.
Starting at 10pm Saturday and going into the late night hours, The Undertow in Orange Beach continues its concert series. This week’s artist features the funky alternative sounds of Saucy FuzZ.
Enjoy wintry weather while staying dry at the Wharf’s indoor ice skating rink. It’s near the Main Street entrance under the large white tent next to Sand Dollar Lifestyles. All skaters are required to complete a waiver before skating, so be sure to sign one online before you arrive to save time in line.
Stop by for an afternoon of football, delicious food, and great company at one of the area’s most popular destinations for locals and tourists alike—except this weekend, you can expect more locals and fewer tourists.
SHOPPING AT GULF SHORES AND ORANGE BEACH STORES
With so many different stores offering fashion finds and unique gifts, local shopping in our area is the perfect way to spend a rainy day. Why wait to do last-minute shopping when you can take care of it this weekend?
Of course, these are just a few ideas for things to do. Most of all we hope you stay safe and warm during the season.
