Things to see & do!

Robert Trent Jones himself proclaimed Grand National as the “single greatest site for a golf course” he had ever seen. Grand National is the host of the PGA TOUR’s Barbasol Championship in July. National Village, a golfing community on the Trail, is adjacent to these courses and the Marriott Hotel.

Rolling Toomer’s Corner Located in the heart of Auburn, Toomer’s Corner is the intersection at which the city of Auburn meets Auburn University. One of Auburn’s oldest & most notorious traditions, thousands of AU faithful join in downtown Auburn to celebrate while hurling tissue into the surrounding trees, lamp posts and anything that will stand still long enough.

Chili dogs & shakes at Mrs. Story’sAn Auburn-Opelika tradition since 1952, the secret recipe for Mrs. Story’s famous homemade chili dogs reminds us that, thankfully, some things never change. While the hotdogs at Mrs. Story’s are the stuff of legend, so are the milkshakes.

Auburn CityfestAt Auburn CityFest you will enjoy spectacular artists and exhibitors but also delicious food, family-oriented entertainment, and a variety of interactive activities for the kid in all of us. Laughter, music and good ole family fun make Auburn CityFest a great day in the park.

Local NightlifeRelax and unwind in the warm and intimate environment of Piccolo. Creative specialty cocktails and a full menu of delicious “small bites” are the perfect accompaniment to the jazz stylings of eclectic musicians from all over the South. Cozy up next to the fire and share a couch with friends over a piccolo (the smallest champagnge bottle).

War EAGLE!It is one of the most iconic moments in all of college football: Jordan-Hare’s capacity crowd of almost 90,000 rumbling in unison as a Golden Eagle is released to free-fly in circles around the stadium, eventually landing mid-field on its leathery pseudo-prey.

On the tracksOn a beautiful spring and fall evening in the heart of downtown Opelika along historic Railroad Avenue, the area’s finest restauranteurs offer a delicious selection of dinner entrées while would-be oenophiles sample over 20 selections of eclectic, seasonally relevant wines.

Toomer’s lemonade“World famous lemonade!” Handmade to order, this tart and tangy concoction is the hallmark of Toomer’s Drugstore, a beloved Auburn icon and the only business that has occupied this historic corner since 1896. An original, soda fountain-style diner and drugstore, Toomer’s has been an Auburn tradition for over a century!

Dale Chihuly ChandelierThe focal point for the entry of the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University, Chihuly’s Amber Luster is a three tiered masterpiece of more than 600 individual pieces of hand-blown glass.
