Summer in the Magic City may be hot, but it doesn’t have to be boring. One the of greatest things I love about my city is that there is always something fun going on. Whether it’s celebrating food, art, music, or just making memories - Birmingham always has something happening within our community. So grab a friend or five and check out these events happening next week!

The Lights, Birmingham - June 8th, 3:30 pm to 9:00 pm

This event is not actually in downtown Birmingham, but for a short drive out of the city you can make memories that will last a lifetime. The Lights Fest is an experience where thousands of friends and families gather to listen to live music, fill up on yummy food, and light up life by sharing personal wishes, dreams and goals. At the perfect moment everyone ignites their personalized sky lanterns with tiki torches and lets them take flight. It creates a surreal ambiance, where time slows down and your single flame rises and joins with thousands of others to light up your life.
