Festivals & Events

We Brummies sure know how to celebrate, and one of the best things about Birmingham is the diverse range of colourful festivals and events taking place wherever you go and whenever you arrive.

We’ve got plenty of perennial favourites that come back each year, from Christmas events in Birmingham to music events to Islamic events. (For these big hitters, you can find annual festivals in Birmingham.)

Whenever you visit, there’s always something going on. See the events on in Birmingham today:

Coming to Birmingham with children? Find events for the family.

Hungry for our world-famous food and drink? Find a food and drink event.

Want to visit the stadiums that rocked the world during the Commonwealth Games? Find a sporting event.

Got an ear for music? Find a concert or gig.

Maybe an eye for art? See our art exhibitions or our local theatre performances, including the Birmingham Hippodrome events.
