The Yellowhammer State’s cultural and culinary diversity is showcased in food festivals throughout the fall, with some also offering tours of ornate churches built by congregations that started settling here about 130 years ago.
Music and dance also will play major roles in upcoming events honoring immigrants and their offspring from Greece, the Middle East and Latin American countries, who are now woven into Alabama’s colorful tapestry.
Several of these Alabama fall festivals have been around for more than a half-century. Upcoming events in Birmingham and Mobile are timed for National Hispanic American Heritage Month, which runs nationally from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.
