Movie on the Bluff returns to Fairhope for the third year this weekend.

PHOTO PROVIDED

The Alabama Gulf Coast weather has decided to skip pleasant and go straight to hot this week, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying the weekend.

This weekend will be a busy one on the coast with Hangout Music Festival rocking the beach in Gulf Shores and the Orange Beach Billfish Classic taking over The Wharf. If you are looking for something to do away from the beach, our list of top events might help you out. Take in a movie on The Bluff in Fairhope Saturday evening, check out a car show in Robertsdale, or take the family to explore one of the Alabama State Parks.
