This year is Birmingham’s 150th and we want to celebrate our city in every way possible. Here’s your chance to celebrate the triumphs of Birmingham and its commitment to forging a united future.

What is Freedom Fest

Birmingham Freedom Fest is an event for the community to discuss social issues and shine light on inequality— the best place to learn how to be an ally for public good.

This is the third year Birmingham has hosted the event.

In light of the challenges that 2020 brought us, our residents are in the mood to celebrate, and this annual showcase of thrilling musical performances and insightful conversation is ready to recapture the celebratory spirit of our city.”
