Parking is crazy, so you just kind of park literally anywhere you get a spot. It's best to get there early if you want a ride. We didn't quite make the cutoff, but one of the pilots let us get in the basket and I got to pull the fire lever! Really cool. The balloon glow was beautiful! They had a lot of food vendors and a local radio station playing music. Great vibes! This event is free!!! This is held annually on memorial weekend. I will definitely be back!

The Buck Creek Festival is a FREE, family-friendly community event held on the second weekend of…read moreMay in Helena's Amphitheater Park. On the banks of Buck Creek, just below the dam, the site together with the stage provides a wonderful venue for people of all ages to enjoy crafts, children's activities, food, and music. There is a large playground on site and in addition to the playground was a large children's play area with slides and bounce houses and rides with unlimited access for a mere $5.00. My family and I just enjoyed the 15th annual event last weekend. This year could have been the largest crowd to date. The Helena Amphitheatre venue is unique small venue along buck creek with walking paths and ample tree cover providing shade. Established in 1999, the Helena Amphitheater Park is located at Helena's Old Town district. It is an outdoor concert hall, festival grounds, movie theater and nature park. In the spring, summer and fall it is host to many events. Aside from the music and fun, the Buck Creek Festival has become known for its charity efforts that include the star of the event: the rubber duck race. The race is held at 3 p.m. on Saturday along the banks of Buck Creek. The duck race in previous years has benefited SafeHouse of Shelby County, local schools, band boosters, the library and more. Be aware there are a few rules. Park Rules *No Dogs *No Coolers *No Alcohol *No Golf Carts or Bicycles The weather couldn't have been better, the tree cover and lack of asphalt provide comfort with temperatures in the 80s. Live music from talented artists can be heard throughout the park, children were running around playing, my wife shopped in vendor tents housing varied merchants ranging from artists, boutique owners to local stores and shops in Helena and many more. It reminds me of small intimate city stages the way it was designed to be. I even found a couple that make and sell Biltong and it was awesome! I would very highly recommend this event to anyone who enjoys being outside and live music. It's not often you find an event that is really enjoyable for the entire family.

This particular Friday night the crowds were low which made it easier to get around and you could actually stop and talk to the brewers. Also, there was a nice breeze. I highly recommend attending this event. This is the 12th year and it is run by Free The Hops a group of people who are passionate about good craft beer. In fact, a lot of them are homebrewers themselves. They are also the people who helped change the legislation in Alabama to allow breweries and homebrewing to be legal. Before this, there were no craft beers being brewed legally in Alabama! This event used to be held at Sloss Furnace and has moved to Avondale Park. I really like the new location. It seems to have a more laid-back feel, and everything is in one area which makes it easier to find the beers you like. Before you go, make sure you look at the beer list. You can access it on their website https://magiccitybrewfest.com/list/. Some of my favorites beers that were served were Back Forty's Paw Paw's Imperial Peach Wheat, Black Warrior's Sipsey Strawberry Blonde, Goat Island's Blood-Orange Berliner-Weisse, all of Interstellar's ginger beers and Straight to Ale's Big Beautiful Bear.

They not only had beer but also ciders and meads. They had several food trucks for eats. This is an event I will not miss. They also do one In Huntsville.

Some was reallllllly bad as well and it was quite funny to us all that they even served it there. We were over stuffed by the end. It was just that many tastings there.
