The battleship itself is massive and well-preserved, giving you a real sense of what life was like for sailors during World War II. Walking through the ship, you can explore different areas like the deck, engine room, and living quarters, which was a really cool experience. The park also includes other military aircraft and exhibits too! Mom and I went on a tour here back in 2018 during a road trip to New Orleans. This is a history buffs paradise!

This is an epic (seriously, Hollywood level production) Christmas light show paired to the holiday music streaming on the radio of your car, and Hank Aaron Stadium knocked it out of the park! (See what I did there? Lol!) The show, the ease of navigating the layout, the directions, the innovation, the LIGHTS (my God -- the beautiful lights), the song selection, the comfort of enjoying from inside your vehicle and not freezing to death outside -- I loved all 20ish minutes of it! Everything was fabulous and like nothing I (nor the hubs) had every witnessed before! Mobile definitely knows how to put on a Christmas Light Show, and if you know like I know-- you'll grab your kid(s), grab $6 bucks per head over 3 yrs old, and get down to the stadium before the CNOL season ends. (Money more than well spent, trust me!) P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for Santa, he's there too!

Ten Sixty Five Fest! The name gives me chills of excitement! The music spectacular of the fall…read morecalendar is Ten Sixty Five and makes music lovers of all kinds coming out and support local and nationally recognized musicians performing in Mobile! Put on through the Jake Peavy Foundation in partnership with many local businesses including Gulf Distributing, Austal, Regions Bank, and others, it's a 100 percent FREE festival held for an entire weekend in Downtown Mobile! Aptly named as Mobile is where I-10 and I-65 meet forming a crossroads for the nation, Ten Sixty Five brings a myriad of regional, local, and national music acts from all genres to Mobile to show us what they can do! The main festival stage takes over the end of Dauphin Street near Moe's BBQ in the Lower Dauphin Street Entertainment Area for three days allowing local bands and national headliners to descend on downtown Mobile to entertain Mobilians and visitors alike. Spanning the music of today in the genres of Folk, Rock, Alternative, and a little Bluegrass and Country there is something for everyone, Last year local heroes the Mulligan Brothers played, as did nationally renowned recording artists the Counting Crows, with Trombone Shorty and others rounding out the lineup! This year the list is riddled with alternative rock groups that will be sure to draw major crowds such as Cage the Elephant and Judah and the Lion; both of which have been featured on Sirius XM for years now. Local favorites Wet Willie will be jamming out like hometown hero Jimmy Buffet bringing that Mobile bay and beach vibe to Ten Sixty Five. In addition, Southern Rockers and national recording artists Blackberry Smoke will grace the Ten Sixty Five stage bringing their unique sound which seems to take its roots from that of Confederate Railroad and .38 Special! In my opinion Ten Sixty Five is a can't miss event of the fall and showcases the absolute uniqueness of the Mobile community and its desire to be known as a business, social, music, and food mecca of the Gulf Coast. With Bayfest being gone, this was an event that needed to happen and in the eyes of this Mobilian is a welcome addition to the entertainment calendar.

For a free event, it didn't disappoint. It's always nice to see a variety of people turn out to support and enjoy things like this. It's located in the heart of downtown with carrots stages scattered along Dauphin street, close enough to walk to the next but far enough the sounds don't take over each other. It's also in a prime location for fantastic restaurants and bars to keep you fed and hydrated. It's a must for anyone who hasn't been, at least once!
