Fun is happening now in Mobile, Alabama!
Our historic city is open for business as usual and the oil spill currently has not affected our tourism/convention activities. Visitors and convention attendees are being welcomed to our area and are receiving the top-quality service and experience that has come to be expected from Mobile Bay. Like everyone along the Gulf Coast, the Mobile Bay CVB is actively watching the status of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We are closely monitoring all information sources related to the oil spill and at this point, the extent of any potential impact is unclear. IF coastal impact becomes an issue, we will provide you with any and all information regarding affects to our travel/tourism industry. Thank you for thinking Mobile Bay!

Mardi Gras, A Family Celebration Jan 21st, 2012-Feb 21st, 2012

Mobile is not only recognized as celebrating the first-known American Mardi Gras celebration in 1703 (yes, even before New Orleans), but also as home to the "America's Family Mardi Gras" delighting both young and old from around town and across the nation. This magnificent celebration lasts for over two and a half weeks and culminates on Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent. For weeks, the streets of downtown Mobile are filled with the sights and sounds of live marching bands, brilliant-colored floats and of course teeming crowds of parade goers. The floats are glowing spectacles manned by masked riders festooned in satin and sequins, and armed with crowd-pleasing "throws" such as beads, moon pies, doubloons and candy.
