Foley Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

The National Arbor Day Foundation has presented the city of Foley the Tree City Award for the city’s efforts to conserve its environment, an advocacy that is supported by the residents primarily because of Foley’s location, which is along the Gulf Coast.

However, Foley vacations are not just excursions for the environmental advocates. Foley vacations are family vacations, especially when the family members are into the arts and adventure. Foley has an Art Center which is the home of a non-profit volunteer organization called the Foley Performing Arts. The center has a gallery that displayed the masterpieces of more than 300 artists and craftsmen. The organization also conducts various art activities that encourage creativity in children. This is why Foley vacations are not only kid-friendly but kid-nurturing as well. The major and most publicized activity is the Annual Art in the Park, which is held in the middle of May.

For the adventurers in the family, summer is the best time for Foley vacations because of the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival. The family can enjoy the spectacular show of colorful hot air balloons as well as enjoy other activities such as visiting the children’s village, using remote control airplanes, observing a NASA demonstration, joining helicopter rides, watching live musical entertainment, and competing in the motorcycle poker run.
