Travel Alabama: Seagrass Music Festival

Live music, history, and seafood on an island. I'm in. I'm Nikki and this is Jason. We sold everything, bought an RV, and hit the road. Let the adventure begin. Dolphin Island is a 14-mile stretch of sand. It has history and stories that go back three centuries. The island attracts history buffs and bird watchers from all over. Today we're here for the music. We're staying at the campground. It's just a short walk to the festival. Yes, there's even a campground on this tiny island. It's the first seagrass music festival and we hear there's going to be some big talent. This is an awesome spot for a music festival. Fort Gaines is a surreal backdrop for the music and the locals can fill you in on some of its history. In between bands is the perfect time to drink and eat yourself silly. The food is all local dives so it's almost as much a food festival as it is music. As the day turns to night the people slowly fill the space waiting for big names such as Sarah Watkins and Ricky Skaggs. Who knew a small island could throw such a big event?
