If you are looking to do something out of the ordinary, make plans to take a cruise on Montgomery's greatest downtown attraction, the Harriott II. This elegant 19th century style riverboat is center stage of Montgomery's entertainment district. The Harriott II offers dinner, dancing and live entertainment. Beginning this summer, take your lunch break on one of the available lunch cruises. To set the bar for your private event, reserve the entire boat for your group event. Perfect for rehearsal dinners, receptions, sweet sixteen celebrations, fund raisers or any other private party.
Home of the Riverwalk Wine Festival, Dragon Boat Race, concerts, charitable events, movies and more, the Riverwalk Amphitheatre is one of Montgomery’s best kept secrets. The incredible surround sound system provides crystal clear quality for each event. The sprawling grassy area on the banks of the Alabama River is perfect for a romantic picnic with your significant other. Bring the entire family and enjoy the splash pad which offers a refreshing fountain of water for children to play in, keeping them entertained.
Located directly behind historic Union Station, this covered, outdoor venue is perfect for weddings, concerts or corporate events. While many know the Train Shed for hosting exciting group events such as the Jubilee Brew Fest, Tide and Tiger Night, and concerts, it can also be transformed into a beautiful dwelling for the perfect, elegant wedding. Reasonably priced and located within blocks of three first class hotels, you can rest assured that if you hold your event in the Union Station Train Shed, it won’t ever rain on your parade.
Parents can chill out while the kids cool off – running, jumping and, of course, splashing among rising and falling jets of water.
Features a 5-foot mini ramp and a fully stocked skate shop and invites skaters of all ages to come out, hop on their board and sharpen their skills while having some fun.

MontgomeryThings We Love About
n Heritage Hotspots: Walk in the footsteps of world-changing events. Montgomery was the cradle of the Confederacy and, a century later, the impetus of the Civil Rights Movement.
n Flavors: Eat your fill of Southern-fried favorites and upscale culinary creations at Montgomery’s many and varied restaurants.
n Treasure Hunts: Shop for treasures of yesterday and today at stylish independent boutiques, eclectic gift shops, art galleries, antique stores and large national retailers.
n Warm Welcomes: The friendly smiles of Montgomery’s genuine people under-score the fact that manners matter here. Get ready to hear plenty of “thank you,” “ma’am” and “please.”
n Nightlife: Pick up the pace with the excitement of The Alley, the city’s new entertainment district, right across from the Montgomery Convention Center.
n Miles of Smiles: The entire family will have a ball (and maybe learn a bit too!) exploring our family friendly attractions, places like Old Alabama Town, ArtWorks and more.
n River Rides: Roll on down the Alabama River aboard the city’s very own riverboat, The Harriott II.
n Fabulous Firsts: Montgomery was the site of the Wright Brothers’ first civilian flying school and boasted the first electric streetcar system in the country.
n Cool Cocktails: Don a faux fur coat and throw back an ice-cold shot in the frozen shot room at AlleyBAR downtown.
n Hot Dog!: Take a bite of history at Chris’ Hot Dogs, a local favorite that’s been serv-ing tasty dogs smothered in a signature sauce since 1917.
n Crooner’s Caddy: See the car in which iconic country music superstar Hank Williams took his final ride at The Hank Williams Museum. It also houses the largest collection of Hank memorabilia found anywhere.
n Cheesy Chow: Do your taste buds a favor and fill up on a good-n-greasy cheeseburger from Hamburger King downtown.
n Park Places: Take a walk, fly a kite or just relax with a book at one of Montgomery’s multiple green spaces like Blount Cultural Park or Vaughn Road Park.
n Great Outdoors: Our mild weather means you can eat, drink and be merry alfresco at many of Montgomery’s restaurants and bars. Try Capitol Oyster Bar at the Marina, Pine Bar and The Tipping Point.
n Plain Nuts: Enjoy Montgomery’s own Tucker Pecans. They taste great right out of the shell but even better when smothered in chocolate.
n Shakespeare, Y’all: Take in a play at one of the country’s most celebrated theatres, The Alabama Shakespeare Festival. And every season offers more than Will’s works. Popular contemporary plays, including musicals, take the stage too.
n Pass the Biscuits: Catch a Montgomery Biscuits baseball game and maybe a flying biscuit too at the lovely and historic River-walk Stadium.
n Sweet Treats: Get a mouthful of sugary goodness at Louisa’s Bakery tucked away in Old Cloverdale and indulge in a strawberry cupcake.
n Otter Nonsense: Go wild at The Mont-gomery Zoo, with hundreds of animal spe-cies. Don’t miss the tigers, the elephants or the playful otters.
n Local Talent: We’re over-run with artists. Check out M. Bagwell’s colorful pottery creations, or the array of stunning fine art photography and paintings at galleries like Stonehenge, Dauber Gallery and SAC’s Gallery.
The reasons to make your way to Montgomery are many and varied, but since we can’t possibly list them all, here are some of the very best.

Montgomery, Alabama, the capital city of the American South, is steeped in his-tory, has been tested by rebellion and is courageous and changing. What’s chang-ing today — and changing for the better — is the face of the city’s downtown and riverfront areas.
City leaders and local developers have a grand vision for the city’s center, and it began to take shape with the Riverwalk project along the edges of the Alabama River. The first phase was completed in 2003 and included the beautiful Riverwalk Amphitheatre and the adjacent Riverwalk Stadium, home of the Montgomery Biscuits baseball team. The Biscuits, the AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, provide family enter-tainment and fun for sports enthusiasts.
In 2008, downtown welcomed the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center, along with the adjacent 1,800-seat Montgomery Performing Arts Centre and a 9,000-square-foot European-style spa.
Across from the convention center complex, the new Alley Entertainment District, nicknamed “The Alley,” was unveiled in the spring of 2009. This high-light of the city’s continuing downtown revitalization is framed by Commerce, Bibb, Coosa and Tallapoosa Streets and was recently featured in Southern Living magazine. It includes both casual and fine dining (Dreamland BBQ, Sa Za’s Serious Italian Food and Cantina to name but a few), specialty boutiques and nightlife spots. In addition, thanks to some fabulous new loft apartments and office spaces, new tenants now call The Alley home.
Just one block from The Alley, the Harriott II Riverboat cruises guests along the Alabama River. This newest addition to the downtown and riverfront rebirth began ferrying folks in 2009 and has definitely exceeded expectations. The majestic riverboat is a unique special events venue that can accommodate up to 400 passengers and is capable of hosting multiple parties each evening.
In the middle of all the action is the Montgomery Area Visitor Center in-side Historic Union Station. Guests can catch an automated trolley tour or pick up “made in Alabama” souvenirs from the Stop at Union Station.
There’s even more excitement on the horizon too. Plans for a walking trail that will include multiple civil rights muse-ums and sites as well as other downtown historical attractions are now underway.
With all of these changes and others to come, Montgomery is quickly becoming a hot spot for groups, conventions and meetings, and family travel. For more information on the downtown and river-front development or to find things to do and see in the city and surrounding River Region, please contact the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitor Bureau at 334-261-1100 or check out www.visitingmontgomery.com.
The Beat Is OnIn Montgomery, the heart of the city is beating strong again.

MONTGOMERY S P o r T S F A C I L I T I E S
The Robert Trent Golf Trail is regularly ranked by national magazines like GOLF and Golf Digest as some of the best and more affordable public golf anywhere in the country. Visitors who’ve been bitten by the golf bug are lucky: Three of the stops on the famed trail are within an hour’s drive, and the Robert Trent Jones Capitol Hill Golf Course in Prattville is practically just a chip shot away.
Since 2007, some of the world’s top golfers have descended on this course each fall to compete in the Navistar LPGA Clas-sic. Past champions of this tournament include notable names like Katherine Hill (2010), Lorena Ochoa (2008 and 2009) and Maria Hjorth (2007). Golf stars fall on Alabama for the tournament again this fall.

Take a Taste of MontgomeryAll of our area restaurants invite you to drop by and sample their creations.
But the multitude of choices can be daunting, so check out these popular eateries sharing the secrets of their “signature dishes.”
H
Sa Za Serious Italian FoodSa Za is a feast for the senses. See the bold colors, exposed brick walls and eye-catching artwork. Hear the energy in the open kitchen. Smell the herbs, spices and other fresh ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes. And taste authentic Italian masterpieces like Eggs in Purgatory, Stuffed Anaheim Hot Peppers as well as both traditional and specialty pizzas, many made from recipes handed down to the chef by his Italian grandmother. Traditional pastas are also a great choice. Join the crowd and try Sa Za’s best-seller, angel hair pasta with Maine lobster meat, chopped shrimp and spinach in a chardonnay, ex-ploded garlic and olive oil sauce. Or opt for Sa Za’s signa-ture dish: the Rigatoni Bolognese, which has a rich sauce made from carrots, celery, onion, veal, beef, pork and cognac that’s roasted for five hours before it is finished with heavy cream and served with rigatoni pasta. Downtown

The Deli at Alley Station
A wide range of traditional deli and comfort food favorites are blended with Southern flair, but the restaurant’s Rueben Sandwich takes the prize for signature dish. The Deli’s Reuben is a well-balanced blend of robust flavors, and it is a bit different from your average Reuben, using pastrami, a signature sauce and thick-sliced pumpernickel bread. Swiss cheese and sauerkraut top it all off. The Deli is also an easy pickup place for take-out foods, and its market has staples like bread and canned goods. You can even choose from its wide se-lection of import and domestic beers to create your own six-pack. Downtown

Capitol IdeaAlabama is a treasure trove of
history—some of it tumultu-ous, all of it interesting—and you can get an up-close-and-personal experience with the state’s multi-
faceted heritage by taking the free, guided tour of the State Capitol Building. Built in 1851, Alabama’s State Capitol Building is one of the only state capitols designated a National Historic Landmark and one of the oldest capitol buildings in the country. (And we think one of the most beautiful too!) The tour guides at the Capitol share a wealth of knowledge and insider informa-tion. Downtown
Splish SplashTake in the Alabama River’s
natural beauty with a visit to the Riverwalk. But when the tempera-
ture heats up, so does the fun level, thanks to the Riverwalk Splash Pad. Parents can chill out while the kids cool off—running, jumping and, of course, splashing among rising and falling jets of water. Downtown
Pure PlayYou’ll have a swinging good
time at any of Montgomery’s playgrounds (map on page 44), but the abundance of swirling slides, monkey bars and more at Kiwanis Park (downtown) and Vaughn Rd Park promise an afternoon packed with endless action.
Say MooTurn on the imagination with
the interactive exhibits and displays at the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association’s MOOseum. Kids and adults alike will walk away with fresh perspective on Alabama’s important agricultural heritage. Downtown
While you’re downtown, stop in Tucker Pecan Co. and enjoy hand-dipped ice cream cones for a dollar, and sample the pecans while you’re there.

Drink It All InDon’t miss Montgomery’s most happening spots:
• Toast the sunset on the river’s edge with a tangy and tart margarita at the Capitol Oyster Bar at The Marina.
• Relax in the spacious covered outdoor area and sip a tasty Bellringer at the Exchange Bar. In the 1800s, Free-ney’s Bell Tavern occupied the corner where the Renaissance now sits. Today, a replica of Freeney’s Bell hangs at the Exchange Bar and chimes daily at 5p.m. signaling the end of the workday.
• At AlleyBAR, the action heats up when you get cold. Don a faux fur coat (in a situation-appropriate “alley cat” print) and enter the city’s only frozen shot room, where your drink is served in a shot glass made of ice.
• At La Jolla, ask for the French Martini, a sophisticated blend of vodka, raspberry liquor and pineapple juice topped with champagne.

Home Base for HeritageMontgomery makes a great home base for exploring many important Civil Rights and Civil War sites.
Montgomery to SelmaMuch of the Civil Rights story can be revisited in Montgomery. But even more can be found along the National Civil Rights Trail. It commemorates the events, people and route of the 1965 Voting Rights March and links Montgomery to nearby Selma. Once in Selma, tour compelling sites like the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute, the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church & King Monument and the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Montgomery to TuskegeeA day trip to Tuskegee offers a glimpse of heroism at the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site. Educa-tional accomplishments are also honored in Tuskegee at The “Oaks,” home of Booker T. Washington, and at the George Washington Carver Museum.
Change Born of CourageA single moment can transform the world. When Rosa Parks’ display of quiet courage sparked the Bus Boycott giving impetus to the Civil Rights Movement, Montgom-ery became the epicenter of a groundbreaking societal shift that would change our entire nation for the better.
Listen & LearnTake advantage of The Civil Rights Audio Tour, a self-guided walking or driving tour of Mont-gomery’s Civil Rights sites. The program includes information about the places and people, featuring their voices. Visit the
Montgomery Area Visitor Center to get a walking tour CD.

Cradle of the ConfederacyIn the Winter Building on Dexter Avenue in a Montgomery that was barely four decades old, the orders to fire the first shot and embark on the largest armed conflict on American soil were signed and sent. Last year marked the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, and there’s no better place to delve into its history than in the city where Jefferson Davis, first and only President of the Confederacy, was sworn in and resided. Stand on the star Davis stood on as he was sworn in on the State Capitol steps.

The River RegionIn the middle of Alabama, this diverse area is a dynamic centerpiece of the state.
As its name implies, the Montgomery River Region is an
area full of rivers. Some are lazy, others fast flowing, but this confluence of water in Central Alabama has formed a section of the state that is known for many things. Encompassing everything from the natural beauty and rustic feel of rural landscapes and agricultural industries to high-tech manufacturing facilities, the seat of state government and a major Air
Force base, the River Region is composed of several dis-tinct communities, all boast-ing rich histories and exciting futures on the horizon.
The River Region’s commu-nities include: Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook, the Town of Pike Road, We-tumpka and Tallassee. The region is growing quickly and is currently home to over 366,000 people. Discover the abundant opportunities that make them great places to live, work or visit.
