The Great
Alabama
Homecoming
Some 215 towns across Alabama welcome you home
this year during the Great Alabama Homecoming.
It’s all part of the Year of Alabama Small Towns &
Downtowns - a celebration of everything that is
Sweet Home Alabama.
Northport
Remember to enjoy some good old-fashioned
Southern cuisine along the way. Sample local favorites
like the barbeque chicken with white sauce at Big
Bob Gibson BBQ in Decatur, the orange rolls at the
All Steak in Cullman, banana pudding at Sisters in
Troy, and the royal red shrimp at King Neptune’s in
Gulf Shores.
If you’ve never visited Alabama then this is the
perfect year to make your first trip and experience
Sweet Home Alabama.
Huggin’ Molly’s - Abbeville
There are homecoming events and festivals going
on practically every weekend from mid-March
through mid-December. Special homecoming
events like the Ashland Homecoming Weekend,
Clayton Homecoming, Celebrate Guntersville, the
Monroeville Reunion, and Talladega’s 175th Birthday
Bash. Check the calendar to see when your favorite
towns are holding homecoming events and start
planning your trip today.
