Have you noticed just how busy this spring has been in Birmingham? There’s so much going on every weekend–and it’s spilling over into weekdays as well. I can’t recall the spring being quite *this* full of cool stuff to do in past years–and while it’s frustrating that I can’t be in three places at once, it’s very exciting to see the increase and enjoy how lively the city has become.

As an example, here’s just scratch on the surface of what you can choose from this weekend:

-Naked Art and Forest Park are hosting a Spring Fling on Friday evening and Saturday. Art! Food! Music!

-Continental Bakery and English Village get in on the action with a carnivalesque Spring-a-Ling-a-Ding-Dong on Saturday. Apparently there will be a parade, hula hooping, and a beheading of Marie Antoinette!

-Bare Hands Gallery invites you to its Garden Party with a City View at the wonderful oasis that is downtown’s Jones Valley Urban Farm. The food will be fantastic, there will be music and dancing, and the setting is unbeatable.

–Vulcan Park and Museum is conducting another historical walking tour, this time on the streets of downtown Birmingham, on Saturday.

–And Avondale Park is the setting for an “Art Feast” (which looks like a springtime version of the Art in Avondale Park festival that takes place each fall) on Saturday.

Get out and enjoy this season in this city!
