As the city that was Born to Celebrate, we promise we know how to have a good time. Come prepared to experience live music, entertainment, local art and amazing food… it’s the recipe for a perfect 2nd Weekend!
DAY ONE
CHECK-IN
Welcome to our beautiful and extremely family-friendly historic city. Unpack your bags and get ready to take in the sights, sounds and flavors found only in Mobile. Take your pick of one of our many hotels with views of the waterfront or a charming boutique inn.
ARTWALK
On Friday night, downtown Mobile comes alive during LoDa ArtWalk, a free event that celebrates Mobile’s rich diversity and culture! Do Mobile the way locals do and enjoy the Port City through local art, music, food and culture. Check out this month’s theme and participating vendors here.
DINNER TIME
No matter what you are craving … homemade pasta, farm or boat-to-table or the best taco platter, you’re sure to enjoy a fabulous meal every time you sit down to dine! Our wide variety of restaurants in downtown Mobile are sure to delight any and every taste.
LAST CALL
End your day sipping on your favorite handcrafted martini, cocktail, wine or beer. Let mixologists delight you with their exceptional skill in crafting fresh, original libations that you’ll remember forever at the Royal Street Tavern, The Haberdasher, POST or one of our many other nightlife options.
Brunch … the perfect combination of breakfast and lunch. From pillowy buttermilk biscuits to sweet and savory chicken and pancakes, Mobile is home to some of the most mouth-watering brunch dishes in America. Check out a few of our must-try brunch spots.
EXPLORE MOBILE
Now that you’re all fueled up, get ready to explore Mobile! If your interest is more towards flora and fauna, head to Bellingrath Gardens to enjoy the 65-acre landscape masterpiece. Our hands-on learning centers and exciting museums are a great way to learn about the history, culture and art that makes up our 300 year-old city. Take a tour of one of the many historic antebellum homes or experience the fast-paced thrill of an airboat ride through the delta while getting eye-to-eye with an alligator.
MYSTERY POP-UP EVENTS
What's it going to be this month? This FREE, family-friendly event features fun for all ages, with different themes and locations. Stay tuned to our 2nd Weekend page for more details!
Your visit to Mobile is incomplete without indulging in our "gulf-to-table" dishes.
DAY 3
BREAKFAST
A variety of options to get your bacon, eggs and grits fix are just minutes away. Stop at the Bistro St. Emanuel for the a la Bamian omelet or head over to the Ruby Slipper for out-of-this-world benedicts!
HIT THE ROAD
While we hate to see you go, we trust that you loved your time in our beautiful city! And, even though this 2nd Weekend celebration is over, we are always finding a reason to continue the celebration.
