Salty Kidz Rodeo at Gulf State Park Pier

Gulf Shores, Ala. — (OBA) —  The Salty Kidz Rodeo is returning to Gulf State Park Pier. Organizers say they cannot wait to welcome families to the Gulf Coast. The annual event has become a beloved tradition for families in the area. This year promises an exciting day of fishing, fun, and lasting memories.


The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Gulf State Park Pier. The sign-up deadline is September 1, 2026. Spots are limited to the first 150 participants, so families are urged not to delay.


The Salty Kidz Rodeo is open to children ages 4 to 15. Parents can register by emailing
saltykidz2019@gmail.com. Families should include the names and ages of all participants in their email. Organizers ask that everyone reach out before the September 1 deadline.


One of the best parts of the Salty Kidz Rodeo is that it is free for participants. Families will, however, need to pay for parking at the pier. Each group will also need at least one adult with a valid Alabama fishing license.


Gulf State Park Pier is a well-known landmark along the Alabama Gulf Coast. It extends over the water and offers excellent fishing spots. The pier is an ideal location for the Kidz Rodeo. Families can enjoy the views while their kids spend the day fishing.


Organizers are also seeking community support ahead of the event. Volunteers are still needed to help ensure the day runs smoothly. Sponsors and donations are also being sought. Anyone interested in helping out is encouraged to contact the organizing team directly.


The Salty Kidz Rodeo offers young anglers a chance to enjoy fishing on the Gulf Coast in a fun, family-friendly setting. Kids of all skill levels are welcome. Whether a child is a first-time fisher or has years of experience, there is something for everyone at this event.
