18th Moss Rock Festival

On November 4 & 5, grab friends and family and get outside to Alabama’s premier Fall Festival as it celebrates its 18th year in Hoover. The 2023 Moss Rock Festival (MRF) returns to the Hoover Metropolitan Complex for its highly anticipated, annual, eco-creative weekend exploring themes of Nature, Smart Living, Art + Design and more. Artistry, innovation, fun, and moments of surprise await thousands of visitors as seasonal colors begin to blanket the area and frame the MRF experience.

Discover juried art, design, and crafts inspired by nature alongside unique, interesting, delicious, and sustainable ideas and shopping at the Smart Living Market, Sweetery and +Design booths. This year’s Nature Enclave is taking its lead from Alabama Tourism’s “Year of Alabama Birding”, with special programming, exhibitions, partnerships, school outreach, and a 2023 bird-inspired Poster showing off the work of Featured Artist, Debo Groover of Debortina Studio. We’re excited to announce that The Audubon Society, Alabama Wildlife Center’s rehabilitated birds, and MRF’s Take Root Tree planting initiative and tree giveaways will be spotlighted as part of this year’s nature connections. The avian influence will also be felt at MRF’s School Planet Project sculpture installations and the WonderKid Studios interactive workshops where young artists of all ages tap into their imagination and creativity through solo and group art projects. While the kids are having fun making art, find a great nice spot to relax at one of the Festival lounges. Or head over to the Entertainment District to enjoy great live music and dance performances on stage all day and local food truck yumminess nearby. Not to be missed is Beer Garden’s 12th year showcasing over 50 tasty craft beers from local and Alabama brewers and homebrewers. Plus, keep a lookout for Shelby Humane pups parading the site as they look for new adopted homes. Could you be one? Lots to see, experience, taste, and take home. We think you’ll need 2 days to take it all in at MRF. So, make a weekend out of it. Tickets in 2023 include admission both Saturday and Sunday!
