The Annual Gardendale Magnolia Festival is an award-winning, family-friendly event held at the Gardendale Civic Center complex. Our mission is to provide visitors with an economical, family-friendly experience while promoting local businesses, tourism, local arts and culture, and volunteerism in the greater Gardendale area. We have over 150 vendors, 2 stages of live entertainment, a pooch parade, midway-style carnival, car show, free kid zone, petting zoo/pony rides and more!

We are a two-time recipient of the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Award which covers 11 states. The festival has also been named Top 10 Events for April-June, twice, when they were giving this award. Four of our food vendors were featured on Food Network and Cooking Channel’s Carnival Eats in 2014.
