Big shout out to Amanda @ Wild Magnolia Kombucha for all of her help with our Vendors. We couldn’t do this without you! Thank you for all of your help.

These babies are headed out the door 🍋

Lemon Ginger — our original and still one of the most reached-for.

Bright citrus, a little kick, and just enough fizz to keep things interesting.

Packed alongside the rest of the lineup and making their way along the Gulf Coast.

Brewed along Coastal Alabama with love, laughter, and a dash of Southern sarcasm.

Some of the best things in Fairhope have been around for decades — and we are honored to have two of them in our corner.

Fairhope Health Foods Store (Est. 1975) and Sunflower Cafe (Est. 2003) are Community Sponsors of Essential Rhythms 2026, and they are helping us bring good food and good energy to our Glamping VIP experience.

These are the kinds of local businesses that make the Eastern Shore what it is. If you haven’t been in, go check them out — you’ll understand why we’re so grateful.
