Mark Your Calendar, Y’all

In Tuscaloosa County, the calendar stays full—and the good times roll year-round. From art festivals and football Saturdays to cultural celebrations and holiday magic, this is a place where events don’t just fill the schedule—they bring people together.

Every fall, the Kentuck Festival of the Arts transforms Snow Hinton Park into an open-air gallery of creativity and craftsmanship. In Fall, Oktoberfest brings a 5k run benefiting the American Cancer Society and a German-themed festival featuring food, drinks and family-friendly entertainment to Government Plaza. Druid City Arts Festival brings together artists, food trucks, and live music in downtown Tuscaloosa, while Dickens Downtown turns Northport into a holiday postcard come December. And if you’re here for Bama game weekends, you already know that this town knows how to throw a tailgate.

Explore what’s happening, what’s next, and what you might not want to miss. Chances are, there’s something worth staying for.
