The 2026 Dauphin Street Vault schedule
The Dauphin Street Vault is held annually at the end of the track and field outdoor season. Spectators are able to see pole vaulting up close at no cost — while drawing Olympians, professional vaulters and rising talent from across the country and beyond.
Because it’s located in the heart of Downtown Mobile, between several bars and restaurants, Mobilians and visitors alike are able to pop in local businesses while at the block party.
“Events like the Dauphin Street Vault showcase the energy and vibrancy of our downtown while delivering meaningful economic impact.”
Danny Corte, Executive Director of the Mobile Sports Authority
