The Cahaba Lily Festival

What is the Cahaba Lily Festival?

The Cahaba Lily Festival is held each year in West Blocton, Alabama. (Click here for a map and directions to the Festival.) The festival is scheduled for the last Saturday in May. The next festival will be Saturday, May 31, 2008. If you would like to receive a reminder email prior to the festival, sign up here.

What takes place at the Festival?

Each year the program begins in the morning (roughly 9 am) with indoor presentations by various nature/wildflower groups. Botanist Larry Davenport, an expert on the lilies, presents an informative presentation about the lilies. Lunch is served just before attendees go to the river for viewing the lilies.

New this year! Story Telling Event, Dulcimer Concert and Bluegrass Concert. See the flyer below for more information on these activities.

How much does it cost?

There is no registration fee for the Cahaba Lily Festival. Donations are accepted to cover the cost of the lunch. The Cahaba River Society offers $10 canoe rentals for those interested in canoeing among the lilies. T-shirts, caps, artwork and various nature-related crafts will also be available from attending vendors for those interested.
