The Snowbird Company's 7th Annual Snowbird Fest Returns to Gulf Coast with New Entertainment and Business Expo
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (PRWEB) December 05, 2017 -- It’s time again for the seasonal migration of winter travelers to the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coasts. The Snowbird Company invites the area’s wintertime guests to the 2018 Annual Snowbird Fest slated for Saturday, Jan. 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Orange Beach Event Center at The Wharf.
The annual Snowbird Fest has been held since 2010 and is the largest event of its kind for winter visitors on the Gulf Coast. In 2017, more than 3,500 snowbirds attended the festival.
“Thousands of snowbirds are expected to attend the upcoming event, where exhibitors will have the opportunity to share their products and services in an expo-style format,” said Chris Wright, co-Owner and COO of The Snowbird Company. “The 2018 festival will be bigger and better than ever, and we are excited to introduce snowbirds to local businesses in the area while providing a fun day of entertainment, delicious food samples, free coffee, and many give-aways, door prizes and games.”
Rather than simply an expo, Snowbird Fest is a festival for winter guests. “This isn’t a stand-in-line kind of event,” Wright said. “There’s tons of interaction, music and live entertainment, great food from local restaurants and the opportunity to really visit and get to know folks.”
Headlining the festival will be a Johnny Cash tribute artist to entertain the crowd with classic tunes, and a dose of hilarity with a tribute to Lucille Ball to add a touch of comedy to the festival as well! There will be complimentary food samples provided by more than 20 local restaurants, as well as door prizes throughout the day. Also the British Car Club will have a selection of classic cars on display.
A complimentary bus ride for Florida Snowbirds, will be offered to make them feel welcome as well. Snowbirds attending from the Pensacola, Destin, and Fort Walton Beach areas can register to be provided free transportation compliments of Snowbird Fest, and Good Time Tours. After spending the morning at the festival, the tour bus will transport attendees to the Hard Rock Casino, Biloxi, and more.
Grascious sponsors for this year include Brett/Robinson Vacation Rentals as a Gold sponsor, offering Orange Beach and Gulf Shores vacation rentals, beachfront bayfront and more. Also participating as Silver sponsors are South Baldwin Regional Medical Center, Southern Vacation Rentals, and Wind Creek Casino.
