Even though we've been living at Jubilee Suites in Fairhope since 2017, Jim and I still marvel at the amazing Spring in Fairhope, so much earlier than Charlotte, NC, where we raised our 3 boys. Tim Kant was recruited in 1983 by former Mayor James Nix, to become Fairhope's first City Horticulturist. Tim Kant, who became Mayor himself in 2000, was at the heart of many of the flower and tree projects that beautified Fairhope and continue to delight residents and visitors with our year-round floral displays on every corner and planter box. In Fairhope, something is always blooming, but the arrival of spring transforms this picturesque town into a vibrant garden of blooming tulips, daffodils, azaleas, wisteria, and spring-blooming trees, painting the landscape with colorful flowers wherever you look. Soon, the air will be filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming jasmine and gardenias, and I can't wait! It's the perfect jumpstart for all the fun of the season and the simple pleasures of enjoying life in this enchanting Southern town. It's a perfect time to visit us at Jubilee Suites.
Birds in Fairhope, AL
As I sit on our balcony looking out over Mobile Bay, I'm struck by the sounds and sights of migratory birds returning to the region to nest. Already, we've seen lots of excited activity at our bird feeders and our bluebird house, flocks of robins in the yard returning from their winter homes, masses of cedar waxwings cleaning the dried berries off the trees we planted for this very reason, and much interest in our martin house. The hummingbirds should be arriving any day now from their winter vacations. We love to lounge around the fire pit and watch the eagles, ospreys, herons, geese, and all sorts of shore birds flying over Mobile Bay and landing in our trees overhead. It's a sign that spring is here and, with it, Fairhope becomes a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. Consider visiting us for the fall migration or taking part in the annual AL Coastal BirdFest, held in the spring.
Festivals in Fairhope, AL
In Fairhope, spring marks the much-anticipated beginning of the festival season. As the weather warms and flowers bloom, the vibrancy of the season becomes the backdrop for gatherings such as the annual Arts and Crafts Festival, where artists from all over the country come to participate in a juried show with awards in eleven different categories. Fairhope showcases the best in art, food, and entertainment during this 3-day event, and many of our residents wouldn't think of missing the festival. And with our local population of around 22,000 swelling to over 300,000 during the festival weekend, many travelers in the know book their rooms a year ahead. From music and art to culinary delights, the beginning of the festival season in Fairhope becomes a joyous celebration of community, culture, and the arrival of spring.
Outdoor Dining in Fairhope, AL
In Fairhope, the arrival of spring brings the return to outdoor dining, breathing new life into our culinary scene. Many restaurants open up their patios, inviting patrons to enjoy their meals in the fresh air and warmth of spring's gentle breezes. Jim and I often choose a restaurant on the basis of the appeal of its patio dining, and in Fairhope, there is no shortage of choices. Tamara's, and The Hope Farm offer more upscale dining, while Market By The Bay, Rae's Kitchen, and Sunset Pointe are a few of our choices for casual meals in the sunshine. Fresh, seasonal ingredients complement the great outdoor views. It's a time when the simple pleasure of a delicious meal is heightened by the beauty of the spring surroundings, creating lasting memories for our Fairhope visitors.
