Fairhope’s Girls Night Out is back, set for Thursday evening, May 12, and it promises to be even more fun than the previous events, said Alex Robinson, director of the Downtown Merchants’ Association. “All for a $20 registration fee, you’ll receive a fun T-shirt and shopping tote ‘swag bag,’ food vouchers, and an exclusive Girls Night Out coupon booklet with special deals available that night and throughout the weekend, May 13-15. The night includes great specials and fun activities at participating shops, such as trunk shows, giveaways, and refreshments.

“This year’s event is the weekend after Mother’s Day so we think it’s a great way to give mom or grandma a special treat,” Robinson said. “We saw many people out shopping and having fun with two or three generations of family last year. The Girls Night Out package is a fun way to spend time with your girlfriends, of course but it’s also a great night out with the special women in your family. And since the coupon booklet is good through that Sunday, make it a Fairhope weekend!”

Tickets are $20 each and participants can register at various locations throughout downtown or online at www.downtownfairhope.com. Participants can also register the day of the event, starting at 3pm at the Fairhope Welcome Center at 20 North Section Street. “Also, be sure to ‘like’ us on Facebook and watch for news and specials on what stores will offer so you can plan your evening,” Robinson said.
