W. C. Handy Music Festival
July 22 @ 12:28 AM
One of the most anticipated events of The Shoals, The W.C. Handy Music Festival.
The W. C. Handy Music Festival was initiated with the help of musician and Sheffield native Willie Ruff to honor “the father of blues” and Florence native, William Christopher Handy. The first Festival was a long weekend of music featuring Dizzy Gillespie as the headliner artist. Since then, the annual celebration has evolved into a ten-day Festival with nearly 200 events. The Festival showcases music at locations throughout northwest Alabama including parks, restaurants, stores, libraries, museums, art galleries, sidewalks, parking lots, and lawns. It also features athletic events, plays, music classes, car shows, and much more.
