Morgan Wallen‘s Sand in My Boots Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, will not return in 2026, according to city officials and executives at AEG.

The mayor of Gulf Shores originally told the City Council that the 2026 version of the festival was canceled due to a lack of available artists, according to People. During a public meeting, Mayor Robert Craft said, “We will refuse to let them go back to the acts we’ve had before, so they couldn’t do it,” adding, “So they canceled the 2026 event but they’ve got time now to pursue the type of talent we want on our beaches, to invite the right audience that we want on our beaches.”
