Arts & Crafts Festival This Weekend
Downtown Fairhope transforms this weekend for the 74th annual Arts & Crafts Festival. One of the top-ranked arts festivals in the country, it draws artists from across the nation and visitors from everywhere. Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you’re staying in Fairhope, you’re walking distance from it all. One thing to plan around: downtown street closures start Thursday at 5 p.m., so adjust your driving accordingly.

FVFD Open House
The Fairhope Volunteer Fire Department is hosting an open house at the Thompson Hall Fire Station on April 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Good family activity if you’re in town — fire trucks, station tours, and a look at their brand new training facility.
