Hangout Festival Returns to Alabama Coast After Two-Year Break
One of the biggest entertainment events in Alabama, the beachfront Hangout Festival, is back after a two-year break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The three-day music festival opened at the public beach in Gulf Shores on Friday (May 20), and it continues through Sunday night.
