Get into the holiday spirit at the Coastal Christmas Market this weekend, happening Saturday and Sunday, November 23-24, at the Orange Beach Event Center at The Wharf. This festive event promises to be a perfect way to enjoy the season with family-friendly fun, local shopping, delicious food, and a touch of winter magic – all in one beautiful coastal location.
Shop, Skate, and Dine at The Wharf
The Coastal Christmas Market is a must-visit for holiday shoppers looking for unique, handcrafted gifts. With over 50 local vendors offering everything from custom jewelry and home decor to holiday-themed crafts and coastal-inspired art, you’re sure to find something special for everyone on your list. And the best part? It’s all local, meaning you’ll be supporting Gulf Coast artisans while finding one-of-a-kind treasures.
Once you’ve crossed everything off your shopping list, head next door to the Wharf Ice Skating Rink, where you can enjoy a classic winter activity—without the cold weather. The rink is just steps away from the event center, making it easy to shop and then glide across the ice with family or friends. Whether you’re a pro on the rink or a first-timer, ice skating is the perfect way to add some extra holiday fun to your day. And if skating works up your appetite, there are plenty of dining options nearby at The Wharf, where you can enjoy a festive meal or a warm drink at one of the many restaurants and cafes.
Fun for the Whole Family
The Coastal Christmas Market isn’t just about shopping; it’s about creating memories with loved ones. Enjoy holiday music while you shop, or take a break to snap a photo with Santa Claus, who will be visiting the event. It’s the perfect chance to make some magical memories with the little ones and spread some holiday cheer.
A Picture-Perfect Setting at The Wharf
Set against the beautiful backdrop of The Wharf, this holiday market is a great way to experience all the festive charm of the season in one location. The Orange Beach Event Center will be decked out in holiday décor, and the entire Wharf area will be sparkling with lights and seasonal decorations. After shopping and skating, take a stroll along the water, enjoy the festive displays, or hop on the Wharf Ferris wheel for a bird’s-eye view of the holiday lights.
