🎨 11th Annual Dauphin Island Art Trail
📍 Cadillac Square Park, Dauphin Island, AL
🗓 Saturday, October 11 | 9 AM – 4 PM
The Dauphin Island Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the 11th Annual Dauphin Island Art Trail, an exciting celebration of creativity on the beautiful barrier island of Dauphin Island, Alabama, at the mouth of Mobile Bay. We have more than 80 booths at this energized event!
What’s New This Year?
In past years, the Art Trail was a lively scavenger-hunt-style event with stops at local businesses across the island. This year, we’re bringing all the art, vendors, and festivities into one picturesque location: Historic Cadillac Square Park, under the sweeping oak trees and towering pines. Visitors will still collect map stamps at different stations for a chance to win incredible prizes like deep sea fishing trips, condo stays, original artwork, and more!
Explore Five Unique Art Zones:
- 🎨 Juried Arts – Featuring talented artists competing for $800 in juried prizes and community purchase awards.

Celebrating Young Artists:
This year’s trail also includes special exhibits to spotlight the young artists of the island:

This initiative is designed to foster creativity and support the next generation of local artists.
