The Year of Alabama Small Towns & Downtowns

Alabama is hosting one big yearlong party, and we want you to be a part of the celebration.

Governor Bob Riley has issued an open invitation for former residents and visitors to come and experience the best of Alabama this year during the Year of Alabama Small Towns and Downtowns celebration.

Activities are being held in and around parks, on downtown streets, and at museums and attractions throughout the state.

During homecoming weekends in Alabama, you can witness the unveiling of a locally written historic marker, hear fascinating stories about growing up in the South from local citizens, participate in a downtown walking tour, step back in time to celebrate our history, or experience local culture during any one of the more than 1,600 festivals and events taking place around Alabama this year.

But that's not all. You'll see neighbors getting together with neighbors, churches having old-fashioned potluck dinners on the grounds, and museums, old homes and historic attractions beckoning you to step inside for a tour.

We have a lot to celebrate, so come join us! The party starts when you get here!
