Now…if you’re still not sold on the shindig, here are three reasons to grab your tickets.

1. You’ll hear live music from fan-favorites (or find a new local fav!)

Otey’s Tavern always has local musicians and bands on rotation, and at Otey’s Fest, you can see a few all in one place.

Here’s the schedule:

• 6PM: Gri Cashio opens inside | T.U.B. performs outside
• 8PM: Headlining band Panic Stricken performs outside
• 10PM: T.U.B. is back for another set inside

2. Outdoor cookout + specialty drinks available all night long

With any live music and community event, you’ve got to have good food.

Otey’s will have a team on the grill all night long, whipping up some cookout-style favorites. Plus, there will be delicious sips—beer, seltzers, cocktails…you get it—throughout the night.

You can enjoy it inside or on the patio because good news: There’s live music happening in both places!

3. Your ticket goes toward a Birmingham cause

And when the day is done, you can rest (or rock) easy knowing that a portion of proceeds go toward the Phoenix Club of Birmingham, a young men’s leadership club that supports Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Alabama and aims to meet the needs of other Birmingham area kiddos.
