The loud out of tune and spastic music selection, loud TV with football, and 4 wheeler with his own music which was not only annoying but even caused the artists headaches. Good advice to planners of these types of events, alittle quiet please so those sincere appreciators can enjoy and shop. People with dogs should understand it's not a dog show, your dog loves you but not the heat of blacktop, crowds and noise. To those people who's parents never teaching the art of etiquette, using interrupting behavior makes you appear classless. It doesn't help in sales or elsewise.

Y'all....go. Just go. The Jubilee Festival is awesome!…read more I try to go every year and I always find the cutest stuff. Some of my finds included a Corian trivet shaped like a turtle, and I got our niece one that's shaped like a mermaid. I also bought a spoon made from Corian with a notch on it so it can rest on the side of the pot. I bought a print of the Middle Bay lighthouse painted by a retired fireman. I bought two prints of sea turtles painted by an up and coming artist named Gary Pope, Jr. My friend Bev kept telling him he should increase his prices before I paid for mine. She's totally right, but wait until after I buy mine. My favorite local photographer/candle maker was there selling her candles and wax melts and I loaded up. That's Lynn Jordan/Bon Secour Candle Company, in case you're wondering. I bought Jasmine a tutu from a booth that had everything you could possibly want for your pet. Of course I bought some pottery. I got the most fabulous and practical utensil holder with crabs on it for only $36! I wanted so much more and the prices were great. In addition to what we bought, we saw wood bowls, gorgeous and well-made handcrafted jewelry, paintings, clothing, address plaques and so much more. There were several food stands as well and some live music. This festival is not huge. We walked in in a matter of a couple of hours and saw everything. It's really a can't miss annual event. There's no admission and parking is free.

When you arrive you turn the radio to a certain station in order to hear the music. A note here, the music isn't a weak signal it comes in super clear and strong the entire time. Take your time as you drive through with no headlights on and flashing lights all around it would be easy to have a car wreck. The lights and different Halloween symbols and characters dance and sync up to the music. It's a good little attraction for the 6 dollar price. It took us about 20 minutes to go through it. The lines can get long on weekends and on Halloween night but in general the hours are dusk till 10pm. Go see it, it's super fun and we had a blast!

We arrived a little early and set up a booth with a crawfish race and prizes for the kids, Yelp swag for adults. Some of the first people to stop by the booth were with the bands. Yes, they had great live music. There was also a silent auction with some of the coolest stuff ever, including a pottery platter, a football autographed by Nick Saban, two autographed baseballs, art by Ricky Trione, and much more. The crawfish was honestly some of the best I've ever had! It had the perfect amount of spice and was plentiful. Still not convinced? Free beer! Yep, all the Fairhope Brewing beer your wife will let you drink, for free!!! Well, all of this was included in the price of admission, which was only $25 per person. That's a great deal, really! Oh, did I mention all the proceeds are for charity? The money raised goes to the Univ of South Alabama Arnold Luterman Burn Center. Now you're wishing there was another one next weekend, aren't you? It happens once a year folks, and it's a can't miss event!

This Festival is an annual event for the city of Mobile AL. While The first Moonpie Drop festival…read moreoccurred in 2007 (spearheaded by councilman Fred Richardson), the celebration of Mardi Gras started in Mobile Alabama in 1703. The reason the festival is called "Moonpie" is because the main things that the revelers throw from the floats during all Mardi Gras parades are moon pies. While it was not that way in the very begining, it has developed into a phenomenon. In New Orleans, the revelers throw mostly beads, trinkets and other non-edible things; while in Mobile, they throw beads, candy and other edible goodies. Speaking of New Orleans...most people think that Mardi Gras originated there. That is completely false. New Orleans did not begin to celebrate Mardi Gras until after the Civil War when a ,Prominent Mobilian introduced the concept to that city. So for Mobile, then the moon pie became the icon and the symbol for Mardi Gras. Sometime in early 2000s, councilman Fred Richardson came up with the great idea to have a celebration of the New Year in Mobile much like the celebration in New York City's Times Square. So his idea was to have a moon pie descend from the tallest building in the city of Mobile and let this be a countdown to the New Year. Hence, the moon pie drop over Mobile celebration was born. The first drop occurred in 2007 and it has grown to a really nice, family-friendly celebration . Usually, the 4-6 hour schedule includes, among other things, City dignitaries welcoming the crowd, giving a short history of the Celebration, cutting the World's largest Moonpie and joining the Historic Excelsior Band in a parade to the music stage, which is next to the beautiful, historic downtown park, Bienville Square (so named for one of the founders of the city of Mobile) about 4 blocks away. Then, some semi-popular band plays until about 11p and prepares the crowd for the feature entertainment. Generally, the featured band gets the crowd hyped for the countdown and the dropping of the Moonpie. Once the moonpie has finished its descent, Fireworks continue to mark the arrival of the New Year and the featured band continues to entertain the crowd. One really positive thing about the Moonpie Drop is the weather. Usually, Mobile's temperature on New Year's Eve is conducive to standing outside for hours on end. Even if the temperature is in the 30s or 40s, numerous downtown restaurants, bars and coffee shops open their doors on that night. It's just one big party..... that I've attended for the last 7 years. Mobile's finest in blue (city police) provide security and in a decade of the Celebration, I've never beard of any violence occurring there. So.....If you are planning to go South to escape the brutal cold elsewhere, this Celebration of the Moonpie Drop in Mobile, AL is worth a visit.
