Admission to the event is $3/per person and includes BBQ, boiled shrimp, seafood gumbo, Conecuh Sausage, live music, children's entertainment, and much more.
“This series is a prime example of why we chose this year – our 75th anniversary – to focus on our partners who allow the parks to function and continue to meet the needs of our visitors,” Greg Lein, Alabama’s State Parks Director said. “From our park visitors who spend countless hours improving our parks by volunteering their time, to the communities where our parks exist, to the First Lady and Bob – these partners pay the way, and this series is a way for us to recognize them for all they do.”
