Springtime in Birmingham brings not only warmer weather but an increase in the number of people who are out enjoying various outdoor activities. Runners in the area anticipate the Mercedes Marathon as this annual event attracts participants from across the nation as well as across the world. There are various lengths that include the full marathon, the half-marathon, or the kids' marathon and relay. The skill level of the runners matters less than the proceeds raised that yield hundreds of thousands of dollars that go to benefit the Children's Hospital, the Bell Center, and Kid One Transport.

The Birmingham Festival Theatre has become synonymous with unforgettable performances. And that reputation has been duly earned, as the entertainment venue has hosted well over 200 productions that have involved more than 50 directors and nearly 1,000 actors and 500 crew people. Staggering numbers to be sure, but even more impressive is that an estimated 100,000 people have watched these various performances. If you are looking for something truly memorable, then make plans to take in a show at the Festival Theatre, where excellence is the only tradition that matters!
