The Fairhope Film Festival is a film lover’s film festival held each year on the second weekend in November, offering world-class, award winning films in a unique, picturesque location. Fairhope, Alabama is a quaint, beautiful and historic bayside city located on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, in the center of America’s Gulf Coast. Founded as a nineteenth century utopian experiment, Fairhope has flourished as an arts community for over 100 years.
The main festival venues are walking distance of each other around our famous, flower-filled downtown area (“Carmel by the Bay”) convenient to restaurants, hotels, locally owned shops and the town bluffs, which boast sweeping views of the 413 square mile Mobile Bay.

Fairhope Adoptable Pets : Meet Wyatt
Wyatt is a striking 2-year-old American Bully mix with a stunning silvery-blue coat. Athletic and full of energy, he loves to stay active and is always up for a good play session. Despite his playful nature, Wyatt walks nicely on a leash, making him a joy to take on walks.
While he's friendly and loves being around people, who are actually his favorite beings in the world, Wyatt can be a bit rambunctious and sometimes plays a little hard. He's best suited for a home that can match his energy and provide him with the activity and structure he needs. With the right environment, Wyatt is sure to be a loyal and fun-loving companion.
