Can you Trust Your Source ?

Be aware of misinformation - and help to stop the spread! The Fairhope Police Department shared that around 9:45 a.m. yesterday, a 911 call was made reporting a small plane crash at H.L. Sonny Callahan Airport, situated off County Road 32. The aircraft, which was within the fenced area of the airfield, did not crash but experienced a hard landing. The pilot, the sole occupant, is reported to be safe.

The police also reminded everyone: There have been some doozy of rumors circulating already. It's important to exercise caution and not accept everything you encounter on social media as truth. Always seek out reliable sources for accurate information. Stay in the know by following the local FP Facebook page.

Fairhope Safe Streets Survey

The City of Fairhope has recently shared: “Hey Fairhope, We need your input! The City is developing a comprehensive plan to improve safety for all —including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and drivers. The Safety Action Plan will focus on roadway safety challenges, identifying projects and developing policies that will address these challenges. This effort is funded by a “Safe Streets and Roads for All” grant recently awarded to the City. 
Go to https://safestreetsfairhope.com. and fill out the survey!”

Farmers Market in Downtown Fairhope

Fairhope's Spring/Summer Farmers Market, starting April 3rd! The market will be held every Thursday afternoon from 3 PM to 6 PM behind the Fairhope Public Library.

Discover a wide array of fresh produce, homemade breads, honey, locally-raised beef, and more. There will also be face painting for the kids each week, along with exciting giveaways!

Parking: Farmers market visitors can park on Magnolia Avenue in designated spots marked “farmers market parking only.” Additional parking is available in Arts Alley! You can also call the Downtown shuttle for a ride directly to the farmers market.

Fairhope’s Earth Day Moving This Year

Fox 10 reports that Ongoing construction at Fairhope Pier has forced the Earth Day Mobile Bay event to be relocated to Mobile County due to parking and access issues, disappointing local leaders and residents. Fairhope Mayor Sherry Sullivan noted that despite offering alternative venues, the Earth Day Committee opted for the new site, citing limited parking near the waterfront. The park is expected to partially reopen by the Fourth of July and be completed by September, and city officials remain optimistic that next year’s Earth Day event will return to a beautifully renovated Fairhope waterfront.
