TWO New Year’s Eve Celebrations at The Wharf

Friday, December 30th, 2011

There is no shortage of opportunities on our island to celebrate the turnover of the calendar year. Some are catering to children and their families, some to the not-so-late-night partiers, some to the energetic adult crowd. But The Wharf in Orange Beach is offering something for all, and admission is free.

New Year's Eve, The Wharf, party, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Alabama, free, family, music, bands

Party with the kids all day and your friends all night. Free New Year's Eve celebrations at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama.

From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. December 31, families can enjoy discounted Ferris wheel rides, face painting, clowns, kids games and contests, special movie presentations, giant sand piles, a bounce house and more. The active day will ensure the kids an early, solid night’s sleep that your trusted babysitter will appreciate.

But your celebration is far from over. Beginning at 6 p.m., six bands on two stages will be cranking out the tunes and keeping your energy revved. As street dancers and firebreathers stroll the grounds, you will enjoy plenty of food and beverages to keep you active into the night. Count down with Lady Gaga as the New York celebration is shown on the JumboTron, then count down with the local crowd as the 14-foot jeweled marlin drops. Toast the new year as large, colorful fireworks marks the occasion.

The night doesn’t have to end at midnight. Head to the Las Vegas Club at the Orange Beach Event Center next to the Main Street area. Or hop a free shuttle to Flora-Bama or Live Bait to extend your festivities into the wee hours.

It’s not too late to gather your family or a group of friends and head to the beach. We’ll even give you TWO FREE NIGHTS! Perhaps a 2-bedroom condo in Orange Beach would be the perfect size, or maybe a 3-bedroom Perdido Key property would be ideal.

Fun in the Sun with Cool Cars

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Eye candy on the highway.

The 10th Annual Corvette Show is Saturday, March 20, 2010, in Orange Beach, Alabama.

Since it appeared on the scene in 1953, the Corvette has likely garnered millions of whistles of appreciation. Yes, this famous Chevrolet model—coupe, convertible and T-top—holds bragging rights as one of the most admired vehicles on the road.

If you enjoy spotting one of these cherished cars on the road but at the same time feel disappointed that you only get a quick glimpse as it goes by, you will certainly want to attend the 10th Annual Fun in the Sun Corvette Show along Main Street at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama.

The Lower Alabama Corvette Club will host more than 150 Corvettes from across the Southeast. Between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 20, you are invited to feast your eyes on these beauties of the automobile world, and even vote for the best car; the awards announcement will be made at 4:00 p.m.

Enjoy the live entertainment during the show, and before and afterward take time to explore the marina, restaurants, shopping and movie theater at The Wharf—and don’t forget to ride the Southeast’s largest Ferris wheel.

Admission is free. Should there be rain, the show will move into the parking garage—but at the time of this writing, the weekend forecast looks absolutely beautiful, so get out and enjoy the warm sunshine!

If you have a Corvette you’d like to show off, registration is just $30 and includes a Friday evening dinner and gathering of enthusiastic owners. Contact Dennis Frazier at 251-968-8141 or dfrazier@gulftel.com.
