Life’s a funny thing. One of the sillier yet common occurrences is when two seemingly opposite statements are true at the same time. In the summer of 2023 in Alabama, we can say that it’s rained just about every dang day but also that the weather has been bright and sunny. Regardless of the wishy-washy weather though, it has been great conditions for events across the Magic City. This week holds just as true, with a variety of markets joining a great collection of concerts and comedy for a fun few days ahead.
Morgan Wade at Iron City (Friday)
One of About Town’s most anticipated concerts of the month is coming to Iron City on Friday night! Morgan Wade’s music career continues to rise as she’s been spotlighted as one of country music’s best emerging artists. Her concert in Birmingham has become a can’t miss event.

City Walk Bham Art Market (Saturday)
City Walk is one of the best locations to truly take in how wonderful the Magic City can be.
