While countless cities across the country hold a National Veterans Day Parade, the one that happens in Birmingham holds special significance as this is the city where the first Veteran's Day Celebration was held back in 1947. The tradition of honoring the men and women who fight for our freedom is still very much alive in Birmingham. The parade and festival held downtown features more than 5,000 participants, 15 bands and more than 50 floats.

While the love you share with your sweetheart is a work of art, it's also a classic in its own way. Celebrate both of those qualities when you visit Birmingham's Four Seasons Antiques and Art Gallery on a romantic date. Break away from the expected as you delve into a world of one-of-a-kind art pieces and classic furniture that will add just the right amount of flair to your living space. Browse as long as you like, but you both will surely want to pick out a special item that will stand as a unique reminder of your special bond with each other.
