The Annual National Shrimp Festival is produced by the Alabama Gulf Coast Area Chamber of Commerce and a dedicated group of committee members. This core group of dedicated volunteers is responsible for pre-festival planning, as well as the day-to-day, onsite operations of this popular four-day event. The success of the Festival now and years past is attributed in large part to these individuals who generously donate their time, talent and expertise each year. Without these men and women, the Shrimp Festival would not be possible.
