Mardi Gras in Mobile takes place over the course of two and a half weeks in February. The city has been recognized as the site of the first ever Mardi Gras celebration in 1703, well before it took place in New Orleans. To continue the tradition of those festivities that were established long ago, many locals and visitors make plans to enjoy the yearly Mardi Gras in Mobile. The festival attracts well over a million people who come to enjoy the parade, masks, the “throws” of beads, as well as all the tastes, sights and sounds that make this party one that should not be missed.

Mobile's history is alive and well at the Oakleigh Historic Complex. Travel back in time as you tour the majestic antebellum mansion that dates back to 1833. You will be truly impressed with the breathtaking Greek Revival-style architecture that features large white pillars and an unmistakeable 19th century timeless quality. When you tour the mansion, you'll be immediately struck by your tour guides as they are dressed in the finery of the day that add an air of authenticity to your visit. The rooms are adorned to look much as they did before the Civil War, and they feature American and European antiques as well as items that actually belonged to the people who once dwelled in this incredible structure.

Seeing the world from behind a set of handlebars is something that is truly a unique experience for mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels. To hit the trail and develop those skills even more, Chickasabogue Park in Mobile is a favorite destination. This trail features ten miles of singletrack that loops through the park. It ranks as not only one of the most scenic recreational trails, but also one of the most challenging.
