Mobile, AL

Magician in Mobile

A Gulf port with the oldest Mardi Gras in America.

Mobile is a fly-in and is a port and shipbuilding city with a social calendar organised, genuinely, around Mardi Gras, which started here rather than in New Orleans. Its mystic societies run a dense season of balls from January through Fat Tuesday.

What gets booked in Mobile

The Mardi Gras ball season is the distinctive market: formal society events across six weeks, needing entertainment that suits a black-tie room. Airbus's assembly plant, the port and Austal's shipbuilding anchor an industrial corporate calendar. The Mobile Convention Center takes regional meetings. Fairhope and the Eastern Shore carry a wedding and private-party season, and Gulf Shores an hour south adds resort work in summer.
