Taking place on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month, the Mobile Bay Maker’s Market features goods from dozens of local artisans, farmers, and makers along the Gulf Coast. Stroll the booths and soak up some sunshine as you browse handmade jams, jewelry, artwork, produce, and more. Feel free to shop ‘til you drop, then get a yummy pick-me-up from an onsite food truck!

The Fairhope Foodie Walking Tour

Provision Cafe

The #1 ranked tour in Fairhope combines two of our favorite things: fitness and food.
