Fourth of July Festivities on the Gulf Coast

Orange Beach on 4th of July is brimming with firework spectaculars and parties. While we celebrate the birth of our country and independence, we also look at ways to celebrate with family and friends.

Even our Orange Beach resort will be hosting its own celebration.
