Big things are happening in Decatur, Alabama, and our newest recreation destination is officially open!
A record year for artists, a permanent piece of art going up downtown, and the story of how a fine arts festival took root. Every October, something happens downtown that did not used to happen here. The courthouse lawn fills up, artists unload their vans, and for two days, a few thousand people wander downtown Decatur with no agenda beyond looking at beautiful things and talking to the people who made them. Most of them go home carrying something they had no intention of buying when they woke up that morning.
Rock the South 2026 is this weekend October 1 st -4 th , here is everything you need to know before heading to the biggest party in the south!
Rock the South is known for its lively music, hosting the biggest stars on country radio, and for being the biggest party in the south, but there’s more to experience this year than the music. The Midway Fair brings classic carnival fun to the festival, giving visitors a chance to continue the fun in between artists’ sets!
There’s something special about finding a piece of art you love, but what if you could go a step further and watch the artist bring it to life?
