January event features Mardi Gras-inspired festivities
Foley will celebrate the Alabama Gulf Coast’s winter visitors with its annual Snowbird Coffee event on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, at the Foley Civic Center from 9 a.m. to noon. This year’s gathering will feature a Mardi Gras theme and continues the tradition of being held on the second Tuesday in January, which in 2024 drew approximately 650 attendees.
The coffee includes a scavenger hunt through downtown Foley for a chance to win prizes. Organizers will also give out bags filled with coupons, information and other items.
The Snowbird Coffee is put on each year by the city of Foley, South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Foley.
