7th Annual Celebrate the Family Expo

Birmingham Christian Family magazine will host its 7th Annual Celebrate the Family Expo brought to you by White Lily on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Finley Center, Hoover Met Complex from 10am-2pm. This free event provides a multitude of activities for all ages including exhibitor resources and activities, cooking demos, product samples, and many freebies for the entire family. Back by popular demand, the 2026 Expo will include a full lineup of celebrity chefs sharing tips and samples throughout the event on the ALFA Farmers Celebrity Chef Stage. Free entertainment includes face painting, balloon twisting, inflatables, mascots, and live music.

Birmingham Christian Family owner Laurie Franklin says “The Expo is a great way for us to share with families resources to help them meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and thank them for helping us spread good news for more than 25 years. Come enjoy activities for the entire family including a kids’ zone, food trucks, giveaways, plus exhibits manned by people from various businesses, ministries, and non-profit organizations.”

There will be free swag bags for the first 200 families filled with all kinds of fun items families can use.
