Presents . . . COASTAL ALABAMA
EVENTS &
ACTIVITIES
All through the year there are events and
celebrations that contribute to the enjoyment of
coastal Alabama. Mobile's first night is a citywide art's festival and
non-alcoholic New Year's Eve party for all ages.
The Senior Bowl football classic features college all-star players and is
televised nationally each year. |
|
Mobile has three professional sports
teams: the Bay Bears Baseball Team (playing in the newly constructed Hank Aaron
Stadium), the Revelers Soccer team, and The Mysticks, an ice hockey team which
plays in the Civic Center Arena. College sports are also popular in the area,
and community teams give non-professionals an opportunity to get in the game.
The Mobile Carnival tradition is older than New
Orleans', and for color and pageantry, Mardi Gras in Mobile is unsurpassed. The
Azalea Trail Run festival and Mobile's tour of
historic homes are favorite spring activities. In
mid-summer, Mobile is host to America's Junior Miss
program, a competition which honors college-bound senior girls from all 50
states. In the fall, the focus is on delectable seafood at Gulf Shores' Shrimp
Festival which also features arts, crafts, and music.
Mobile, Fairhope, Daphne, and Point Clear have excellent arts and crafts
festivals. The Alabama Gulf Coast, particularly the Eastern Shore,
attracts artists so music, theater and visual arts play
a big part in the culture. |
| At world-renowned Bellingrath Gardens and Home there's a year-round,
changing display of flowers, and at Fort Morgan, Civil
War reenactment and living history displays happen often. The popular
Batleship Alabama is known as our state's number one tourist attraction. Deep
sea fishing tournaments and boating events are also staged frequently all along
the coast. |
