TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) - The Druid City Arts Festival is the first city sponsored community event since things began reopening around Tuscaloosa.
It is also the start of the area’s summer event season, according to Michelle Smart, Special Events Manager for the City of Tuscaloosa.
Vendors started setting up early Friday morning.
More than 60 artists from around the southeast are in Tuscaloosa this weekend. They’re selling paintings, pictures, handmade arts and crafts, and many other items.

Remaining safe and separate canceled mingling, especially where one might bump elbows with strangers. After taking 2020 off, as did most of the pandemic-ridden world, the Druid City Arts Festival returns this weekend, outdoors and open to the public, Friday and Saturday in Government Plaza.
From 2010 to 2019, DCAF grew from a sparsely-attended one-day show to a two-day festival that draws crowds estimated at 12,000 and up. Just by being outdoors, it really gives us the freedom to do some of the things that we d planned on doing in 2020, said Alexis Clark, venue operations manager for the city of Tuscaloosa. Tents will be spaced apart, but that s just by nature of having a few less participants, and not really by design.
