Hangout/Sand In My Boots Music Festival Community Input
The Hangout/Sand In My Boots Music Festival is a significant annual event in Gulf Shores, bringing both opportunities and challenges for our community. Because hosting an event of this scale affects residents and businesses in many ways, it’s important to carefully consider its future. As city leaders evaluate the possibility of extending the festival’s contract, we are committed to making this a collaborative decision by incorporating the voices of our residents and local business owners.
By participating in these surveys and attending the community input meeting, you have the opportunity to share your thoughts, concerns, and suggestions, knowing that your input will directly inform the City of Gulf Shores’ decision-making process. Together, we can determine the best path forward for our community.
