About kids’ events in Birmingham

Birmingham was founded in 1871 where iron ore, coal and limestone all lay within a few miles of each other, and the cast-iron statue of Vulcan on Red Mountain still looks over the city. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, facing Kelly Ingram Park and the 16th Street Baptist Church, tells the story the city is known for. Families spend weekends at the McWane Science Center, the Birmingham Zoo, the Botanical Gardens and Railroad Park, and Birmingham Public Library's Central branch is downtown beside Linn Park.

Holiday events for kids in Birmingham, 2026: tree lightings, light displays, Santa visits and gingerbread workshops, day by day.

16 children’s events are on in Birmingham in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Birmingham Public Library (6 branches, 45 upcoming programmes). Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.

The Birmingham passport

1 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 1 and print the certificate.

  • Birmingham Public Library

Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.

Is it free to use, and do I need an account?

Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.

How current is this list?

Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Birmingham’s own time zone.

Which ages?

Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.
