Things to do nearMobile Convention Center

Visit during Mardi Gras season, when downtown Mobile transforms and events at and around the convention center draw some of the city's largest and most festive crowds.

Try a lunch break at one of the waterfront restaurants along Water Street, just a short walk from the facility, where Gulf seafood is a staple.

Bring comfortable walking shoes so you can easily explore the nearby Cathedral Square and Dauphin Street dining and arts corridor between sessions.

Check the City of Mobile's events calendar before your trip, as the convention center frequently hosts public festivals and cultural events open to all visitors.

Park in one of the structured garages on the north side of downtown to avoid circling the waterfront lots, which fill quickly during large conventions and weekend events.
