2nd Weekend
As the city that was Born to Celebrate, we're giving you another reason to kick up your heels during "2nd Weekends" in Mobile. Every second weekend of the month, on Friday from 6 to 9 p.m., downtown Mobile comes alive during LoDA ArtWalk! Join the locals to enjoy the latest in Mobile’s art, music, food and culture. The community-wide art show celebrates Mobile’s diversity — you’ll find both the contemporary and traditional, from arts and crafts to handcrafted furnishings, while enjoying all the sights, sounds and flavors of Mobile. The fun keeps going on Saturdays with pop-up events, farmers' markets, concerts, exhibits and more. Our nearly 325-year-old city has so much to see and explore — check out our trip planning inspiration for more ideas!
LoDa Art Walk
This is the perfect event to get friends together, take the family out or go for an evening stroll to enjoy the latest in local art, music, food and culture. Grab a drink and beignet to-go, then browse local galleries, public spaces and pop-up markets. Sit at a fabulous downtown restaurant and soak up the artsy atmosphere, or snag a quick bite from the food trucks to enjoy on the move. The monthly event takes place through a partnership between the Mobile Arts Council and the City of Mobile Special Events department.
