Moss Rock Festival Returns to Hoover Mer Metropolitan Complex
HOOVER, AL – The highly anticipated Moss Rock Festival is set to take place from November 2-3 at a new location this year—the Hoover Metropolitan Complex. Community members are invited to spend the weekend enjoying the beautiful combination of nature, art, local cuisine, and live performances.
Venue and Parking Details
This year’s festival will be situated directly in front of the baseball stadium, making it an accessible destination for all attendees. Parking is available in the upper lot located between the stadium and the Finley Center. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure a good spot. Festival organizers emphasize that there will be clear signage directing drivers to parking areas.
A Celebration of Art and Nature
The Moss Rock Festival is renowned for showcasing exceptional local artists and artisans, with many of their works inspired by nature and the environment. Attendees can expect to find a wide array of styles and prices, ensuring that everyone can find something that resonates with their taste.
A highlight of the festival is the artist or collective selected each year to design the festival’s poster. This year, the honor goes to local muralists Levi Johnson and Jordan Thompson from Bendy Knees, who are known for their vibrant and engaging installations throughout Birmingham. “We love when our featured artists create a work specifically for the festival,” said a festival spokesperson. “It’s a wonderful tradition we’re proud to continue.”
Nature Programming Focus
This year’s festival will place a special emphasis on Alabama Waterways, exploring watersheds and the diverse wildlife that inhabit them. This initiative aims to educate attendees about the importance of protecting our eco-systems and the vital role they play in our environment.
In a further commitment to community service, the Shelby Humane Society will be present at the festival with several furry friends looking for forever homes. This provides a fantastic opportunity for participants to consider adding a delightful new member to their families.
Craft Brews and More
In addition to the beer excitement, Mr. Mancave will deliver a four-screen viewing experience, showcasing live football games on both Saturday and Sunday. This means festival-goers can relax with a cold beer while cheering for their favorite teams.
A Variety of Food Options
This year, the Festival Cafe will boast a wide range of local food trucks and pop-up vendors. Visitors can indulge in various culinary delights while enjoying live music. On the Crescent Stage, attendees can settle in for live entertainment throughout the weekend.
