July Events & Things to Do in Coastal Alabama

(Fairhope, Daphne, Mobile, Foley, Gulf Shores, Point Clear, Dauphin Island, Baldwin County & Mobile County)

July is heating up on the Gulf Coast—fireworks may be over, but the fun is just getting started! From fishing rodeos to outdoor concerts, colorful galas to beachside movies, Coastal Alabama is packed with sunshine, Southern charm, and unforgettable summer moments. Whether you’re cheering on the Blue Angels, catching a play under the stars, or just enjoying a cold drink with neighbors at a community bingo night, there’s something magical happening around every corner.

We already gave our sparklers the spotlight in a separate article featuring all the local Fourth of July fireworks—but now that the skies have gone quiet, it’s time to turn our attention to the rest of the month.

At Level Property Management Group, we believe being part of the community means more than just managing homes—it means celebrating what makes each one of our towns so special. From Dauphin Island to Daphne, and Fairhope to Foley, we’re proud to call Coastal Alabama home.

So grab your calendar (and maybe a popsicle), and let’s dive into everything July has to offer across Baldwin and Mobile Counties!
