Bluff Park Art Show
Always on the first Saturday in October, the 63rd Annual Bluff Park Art Show is Saturday, October 3, 2026. The locally heralded event hosts approximately 130 artists. The 2025 show included many first-time artists, as well as artists from 12 states. We had a large crowd and beautiful weather.
Bluff Park, located in Hoover, Alabama, is within the Birmingham MSA with 1.13 million residents. The park offers a neighborhood feel in a wooded and shady setting, which includes a children’s art area and musical performances. Patrons arrive by shuttle throughout the event, and the “art car” is available to take larger pieces of art directly to the buyer’s vehicle.
