From international sports competitions to nationally known festivals to college football traditions, the Magic City has a packed calendar—we’ve found all the can’t-miss reasons why a quick trip to Birmingham needs to be part of your late summer and fall plans.

First up? The 3-day FISE (Festival International des Sports Extrêmes) World Series makes its only U.S. stop at CityWalk BHM next weekend, August 7-9, 2026.

The festival will bring together 400+ pro, amateur and junior athletes to compete in multiple extreme sporting events, including BMX Freestyle Park, Skateboarding Bowl, 3×3 Basketball, and more! Beyond the competitions, visitors can expect a full festival experience with live concerts, DJ sets, art vendors, food trucks and can even participate in open skatepark sessions.
