About this Event
Make merry memories with family and friends while exploring the Grand on our Holiday Stroll starting Saturday, November 30th at 5:00pm! As you enter the gates of the resort, adorned lampposts light your way along the main drive. On the left, snuggled in southern foliage, you will find one of Santa’s Workshops and with a little luck, you may even spot an elf or two taking a break from this year’s toy making.
Take a turn around the lagoon along our brick pathway lit with gleaming arches. Along the way is Santa’s Sleigh nestled in a picturesque setting as our three fountains glisten in the background amidst the thousands of twinkling Christmas lights. As you meander along the serene path underneath the canopies of the sprawling oaks, Spanish moss, and evergreen shrubs you’ll find our “Bent Oak”, one of the resort’s many hundred-year oaks. Donned with dozens of larger-than-life illuminated ornaments and a natural “seat”, this magical location provides the perfect backdrop for family photos. On Fridays and Saturdays, November 30th through December 28th from 5pm to 8pm, take a rest and savor a Hot Chocolate and S’mores at one of our lagoon-side tables, take pictures with Mrs. Claus, find the Grinch, and more! As the path loops around, look for the giant red sparkling bow peeking above the treetops, garnishing the front of the historic main building.
Before crossing under the Porte-Cochere for a bay-side stroll, witness the spectacular sight of our signature Grand Live Oak draped in over 23,700 Christmas lights, twinkling in the crispness of the evening air. On the south side of the resort, you will find Fleischer Pier illuminated in an angelic glow above the waters of the Mobile Bay. Making your way north along the boardwalk, relax in one of our resort swings or hammocks and listen to the waves lap against the bulkhead creating fond memories that will live in your dreams long after returning to the realities of daily life.
As you enter the Main Building, witness the Gingerbread Display of Grand proportion, created by our talented pastry team. Yummy treats await you in the Local Market. Enjoy fresh pastries, Christmas candies, and gourmet hot beverages fireside in the historic lobby beautifully decorated for the holidays.
Enjoy dinner at Bayside Grill and Southern Roots, or a drink and a bite to eat at our iconic Bucky's Lounge. There's no better way to end, or begin, your stroll! Each ticket includes a coupon for 15% off food in our restaurants (some restrictions apply)!
Stop into the Oak and Azalea Boutique to look for that perfect Christmas gift. You cna always purchase a gift card for your favorite loved one if you can’t decide on the right gift!
