Trader Joe’s will open the store at 2428 Napoleon Ave., anchored on the corner of Freret St. and Napoleon Ave.
The festival will feature arts and crafts, storytelling, food, live performances, an annual 5K, a 1-mile fun run, and a car show.
Jodie Leith, the circus ringmaster, said the show features acts on the ground and in the air, including dancers, juggling, and acrobatics.
Gulf Shores is launching a new parking fee structure at its public beaches and within the Beach Walking District. The flat rate is going away. Starting July 1, visitors will pay by the hour and the rate depends on where they park.
