The Magic City Mimosa Festival in Birmingham, Alabama will bubble up into a fun-filled day for the third year at Sloss Furnaces on Saturday, April 20, 2024. I hope you’ll join me in raising a toast to that!
If you’re not familiar with mimosas, the traditional version of this cocktail is made with champagne and chilled orange juice. Your best bet for making them is to use a cheaper bubbly than actual champagne, like cava or prosecco. Ultimately juice flavor overpowers that of the wine, and these two blend with juice just as well!
It's the perfect warm-weather cocktail, and the timing of this festival makes it a perfect opportunity to gather with friends and sip on refreshing mimosas. You can also savor delicious food from local vendors. The historic setting at Sloss Furnaces and a lively crowd make it a vibrant and exciting atmosphere.
With a focus on supporting local businesses and artisans, the Magic City Mimosa Festival is more than just a day of drinks and food – it's a celebration of the community and all that it has to offer. From unique crafts to mouth-watering cuisine, expect an event that delights the senses.
But let's not forget about the star of the show - the mimosas! Upon arrival, ticketholders who present their tickets and proof of age will receive souvenir cups and penny tokens. You redeem the tokens to fill your cup at the festival's many mimosa stations.
Whether you're catching up with old friends or making new ones over lawn games, mimosas are the perfect social lubricant for a relaxed and enjoyable time.
So gather your friends, grab your glasses, and join us at the Magic City Mimosa Festival in Birmingham. It's a day of fun, food, and of course, lots of fizz that you won't want to miss!
