The story

Moss Rock Festival in Hoover

The Moss Rock Festival is an annual arts and sustainability festival held at Moss Rock Preserve in Hoover, Alabama, combining a juried artist market with environmental and outdoor-recreation programming set against the preserve's sandstone rock formations and hardwood forest trails.

Hoover, a suburb south of Birmingham, holds within its city limits a 349-acre preserve of exposed sandstone rock glades, seasonal waterfalls, and hardwood forest known as Moss Rock Preserve, land set aside for conservation rather than development as the metro area grew outward along U.S.

01

The place changes

Unlike a downtown arts fair on pavement, Moss Rock Festival takes place inside a 349-acre nature preserve of exposed sandstone glades, waterfalls, and rare plant habitat that the City of Hoover set aside for conservation, so the juried art market, live music, and food vendors sit within a working forest preserve rather than a parking lot or plaza, with an explicit emphasis on sustainability, locally made goods, and outdoor recreation alongside the visual and craft art
