After a crazy week of rain, it looks like this weekend will be perfect for all types of events around Birmingham. Although your focus may be (read: should be!) on Mom this weekend, there are plenty of options to fill everyone’s social calendar between markets, sporting events, and annual traditions. Read on to find out what’s happening in the Magic City this weekend.

Come out and watch some great golf with the likes of Vijay Singh, Fred Funk, Retief Goosen, and Ernie Els. Enjoy libations at the White Claw Watering Hole, The Tito’s Terrace, The Miller Lite Deck, or the Chateau Souverain Wine Lounge. And Saturday stay to hear The Marshall Tucker Band live concert. The Final Championship Round will be held Sunday afternoon with an awards ceremony on the 18th green.
