Regions Bank celebrates July 4th with iconic tower lighting
Reading time: 2 minutes
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, Regions Bank will unveil a special 4th of July holiday lighting of its headquarters tower.
One of Magic City’s most beloved traditions since the 1970s, Regions annually illuminates the 30-story skyscraper in downtown Birmingham during the Christmas season and right before the Regions Tradition golf tournament in the spring.
Birmingham residents and visitors can get their first glimpse of the patriotic lighting tonight, June 24, at 8:30PM.
“Every year, we receive feedback from people who love seeing the illuminations of the Regions Center, and we thought this Independence Day provided a great opportunity to launch a new design. This is a milestone for our nation as we mark 250 years of independence, and we are proud to join our fellow Americans celebrating this special occasion.”
Michael Branca, head of Corporate Services for Regions Bank

According to Regions, more than 300 hours of work went into changing the building over from the golfer design to the July 4 display.
Times the bank has lit up the building other than during Christmas were for the 1996 Olympics and 1991 Gulf War.
