Birmingham residents checking the community events calendar will find Alabama’s First 205 Day Festival listed for Saturday, July 18 at Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark. The free Magic City Block Party appears on Eventbrite and the visitbirmingham.com/whats-on guide maintained by the Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Changes to scheduled programming

The Field & Stage Music Fest at Legacy Arena, originally set for July 17-19 2026, has been cancelled with automatic refunds issued through original payment methods. Organizers posted the update on Eventbrite listings that previously promoted the three-day event. This leaves the July 18 date open for other local plans at outdoor sites that remain on the calendar.

Free screenings and markets fill several slots. Movies on the Mountain: Space Jam is set for July 18 at Vulcan Park & Museum. An Open Air Market runs July 24-26 at Linn Park. I Love Irondale Day also falls on July 18, while Renew Fest at Avenue D Events and Otey’s Fest at Otey’s Tavern both occur on July 25.

Where to find complete listings

The visitbirmingham.com/whats-on page serves as the city’s official events guide and compiles listings from multiple platforms including Eventbrite and herebirmingham.com. Those sources show the same July dates for the block party, movie night and market without additional ticket requirements for the free entries.

Event calendars hosted on bhamnow.com and the BJCC site cross-reference the same July 18 through July 25 gatherings at the named venues. No further changes appear in the current postings beyond the Legacy Arena cancellation already noted.

Residents seeking the latest updates can visit visitbirmingham.com/whats-on or the Eventbrite Birmingham community section before heading to any listed site.
