September Events & Things to Do in Coastal Alabama

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

September on the Gulf Coast is a sweet spot—summer’s not quite over, and fall is just around the corner. That means cooler mornings, lively markets, art walks, car shows, charity runs, and plenty of coastal flavor to soak up before the season shifts. Whether you’re cheering at the triathlon in Gulf Shores, shopping downtown Fairhope, or lacing up your sneakers for a community fun run, there’s no shortage of ways to get involved and enjoy where we live.

From Freedom Fest to food trucks, hurricanes (the running kind) to haunted ghost hunts, there’s something happening every weekend—and we’ve rounded up the best of it for you.

At Level Property Management Group, we don’t just help people with rental properties—we’re here to connect you with the people, events, and experiences that make life along the Eastern Shore so special. Whether you’re looking for a property manager, or a rental home, or just looking for something fun to do, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s your go-to guide for everything happening around Baldwin and Mobile Counties this September.
