July 24–26in & around Coastal Alabama & Northwest Florida
Creed plays The Wharf Friday, Luke Bryan takes the same stage Saturday, and Monster Jam runs three shows at the Bay Center. It's an arena-scale weekend down here: Creed opens it Friday night with Mammoth and Hinder, Luke Bryan headlines Saturday, Monster Jam fills the Pensacola Bay Center twice Saturday and once Sunday, and the Pirate's Cove Autism FUNraiser hits its 20th year over two days in Elberta. No rain to plan around -- it's sunny and dry all three days. The heat is the thing: low 90s and climbing all weekend, 91 Friday to 94 Sunday, and it never really lets go overnight, with lows sitting in the upper 70s. Here's the weekend.
Friday
The Summer of '99 Tour lands at The Wharf with Mammoth and Hinder opening. This is the loud, sing-every-word, arms-in-the-air kind of night -- exactly what the amphitheater was built for. Part of the C Spire Concert Series.
The ventriloquist and singer who won America's Got Talent brings her stripped-down touring show to OWA in Foley for a two-night run wrapping up Friday. Good one for a family that wants a night out that isn't a concert field.
Fairhope's community theatre takes on the true story of the factory workers who painted watch dials with radium and then took their employer to court. Friday and Saturday evenings plus a Sunday matinee. Twenty-five dollars, twenty for students.
Saturday
Back-to-back marquee nights at The Wharf. Bryan brings the Word On The Street Tour with Shane Profitt and Karley Scott Collins. If you only do one big thing this weekend, the amphitheater has you covered two nights running.
Three chances to see it: Saturday at 1 and 7, then Sunday at 1. Doors open an hour before each show. It is exactly as loud as you're picturing, which is the point -- bring ear protection for the little ones and go early for the pit party.
Twenty years of this one. Saturday brings Andy and the Flying Cobra from 11 to 3 and Outlaw Chrome from 4 to 8, with the party picking back up Sunday. It all benefits High Hopes 4 Autism, and a day on the water at Pirate's Cove is a good day regardless.
Live music every night at The Hangout, no cover. The reliable fallback when the plan falls apart or nobody can agree -- walk up, grab a table, done.
Sunday
The Summer Movie Series puts the original shark movie back on a big screen inside a beautiful old theatre, air conditioning included. A properly great way to spend a 94-degree Sunday afternoon.
That's the weekend.
