The Birmingham FOOD+Culture Festival, which was named the No. 3 best new festival by USA Today after its inaugural year of 2023, is rebranding as Southbound Food Festival and expanding its run to 10 days.

“Expanding to two weekends and adopting the Southbound Food Festival name allows the event to better reflect its broad mission – creating more space for discovery, collaboration and shared culinary experiences,” said Cathy Sloss Jones, board president.

Jones announced the rebrand at the Pepper Place Spring Bazaar on May 8.
