What to
The reasons to love Montgomery are many and varied, but since we can’t list them all, here are some of the very best.
SHAKESPEARE, Y’ALL
Take in a play at one of the country’s most celebrated theatres, The Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Every season offers more than Will’s works. Popular contemporary plays, including musicals, take the stage too.
GRIDIRON ACTION
The Sunbelt and MAC college football conferences face off each December in the ESPN’s Raycom Media Camellia Bowl.
PADDLE PLAY
Glide across the surface of the Alabama River on a stand-up paddle board and get a different view of the downtown skyline.
NIGHTLIFE
Pick up the pace with the excitement of The Alley, right across from the Montgomery Convention Center.
HERITAGE HOTSPOTS
Walk in the footsteps of world-changing events. Montgomery was the cradle of the Confederacy and, a century later, the impetus of the Civil Rights Movement.
