ALABASTER – The Alabaster Arts Council is now accepting vendor applications for Alabaster CityFest 2023.

This year’s event is set for Saturday, June 3 on the grounds of Thompson High School and will provide thousands of local residents with an opportunity to enjoy live music, vendors, carnival rides, food and more.

“CityFest is the biggest free festival of its kind in the state,” Alabaster City Councilmember Jamie Cole said. “We expect tens of thousands through the gate every year.”

This year’s CityFest will also have an all-day KidsFest area, inflatables, mechanical rides, face painting and arts and crafts projects—all day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“For sponsors and vendors, it’s an incredible opportunity to reach our community,” Cole said. “I can’t think of a better opportunity to get your brand or your products in front of Alabaster citizens and folks from all over the region.”
