FOLEY, Ala. — The city of Foley’s  Heritage Harbor Days festival has been selected as one of Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 events for the month of November.

The Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Events publication receives extensive exposure in print media, web, radio and television in the U.S and Canada. Over 800 newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, AAA’s and others receive the Top 20 listings.

The Atlanta Journal- Constitution prints the Top 20 as a regular quarterly feature of its travel section, and the Top 20 Events has recently been featured on the New Orleans-based radio show  “Travel Talk Radio”.

The Top 20 Events are also listed on the Southeast Tourism Society Web site southeasttourismsociety.org and on their consumer Web site escapetothesoutheast.com.

Heritage Harbor Days has received numerous state and national awards for creativity, merchandising, education and leadership.

Recently the festival was included in the Top 10 events for the State of Alabama. 

The educational program with the “Miss Foley” has won awards in Texas and Oklahoma. Most recently the

Heritage Harbor Days exchange program with Winchester, Tenn.  won the Gold Award for the “Best Event within an Event” for the International Festival and Events Association’s Southeast Region. 

The Miss Foley has been deemed the most traveled shrimp boat off the water on the planet.

The festival is cross promotion at its finest. Working with other Southeast cities and states, Heritage Harbor Days captures the essence of innovative marketing for the City of Foley and the Alabama Gulf Coast.
