Venues for the 14th Annual Fest will be confirmed in Spring 2012. 

 Alabama Theatre [1817 Third Avenue North]
The Alabama Theatre was built in 1927 by Paramount Studios as an Alabama showcase for Paramount films. It was used primarily as a movie palace for 55 years. It now hosts many live events, as well as films. Each year the Theatre hosts over 300 events attended by a half million Birmingham area citizens. In 1998, the Theatre underwent a complete front door to back door restoration. The work was done by EverGreene Studios from New York City. In 8 months, the theatre went from its look of faded grandeur to a sparkling 1927 look with all the gold leaf paint either replaced or cleaned.  (Capacity: 2,176)
