April Highlights: Spring Into Event Season with AIA
Fun Fact: Did you know Alabama is home to the country’s first Mardi Gras celebration?
While New Orleans might steal the spotlight, the very first Mardi Gras in the U.S. was held in Mobile, Alabama, in 1703—15 years before New Orleans was even founded!
Just like that early celebration, April is a time of connection, community, and a little bit of fun.
Check out where we’re headed next and what we’ve been up to!
