Celebrate in Mobile
Nicknamed “the Paris of the South,” Mobile is a coastal town like no other — steeped in history, culture, and festivities. Founded by French settlers in 1702, it’s known for its long Carnival tradition, the oldest in the U.S. As a port city, it quickly became a melting pot of cultures, flavors, and traditions.
Today, Mobile is still a colorful place where you can enjoy soulful music, authentic eats, and old-fashioned Southern hospitality.

Dig into history and culture in this charming port city.
USS Alabama
A visit to this WWII-era battleship includes more than just the ship. As well as exploring the “Mighty A,” you can see the USS Drum submarine and Medal of Honor Aircraft Pavilion, as well as tanks, artillery, statues, and war memorials.
Mobile Carnival Museum
When you say Mardi Gras, most people think of New Orleans. But Mobile is actually the site of the oldest organized Mardi Gras celebration in the nation. Marvel at costumes, floats, and photos of historic Mardi Gras celebrations at the Carnival Museum.
Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception
In 1703, the first Catholic Parish on the Gulf coast was founded in Mobile. Today, the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception carries on that tradition. This historic cathedral, built in the late 1800s, features stunning stained glass windows and an impressive organ.
