Special Feature
Birmingham’s most popular spring shopping event returns to the BJCC March 6-8, 2026. Cottontails Village will welcome more than 400 local, regional and national vendors showcasing unique items for spring holiday entertaining, special occasions and more. The long-running Magic City tradition kicks off the upcoming season of holidays and special occasions including Easter, Mother’s Day and Graduation. 
“Cottontails Village heralds the arrival of spring in Birmingham after an especially wintry start to the new year. It’s a vibrant three days packed with colorful springtime magic to get guests ready for the seasonal transition,” said Kelsey Jackson, Assistant Show Manager. “Like its sister event the Christmas Village Festival, Cottontails is Birmingham’s longest running consumer event that has become a multigenerational tradition for local families and friends who return year after year to create memories together with lots of fun photo opps, great shopping and seasonal activities.” Cottontails Village highlights include:
Easter Bunny Photos: The Easter Bunny is in the house hosting photo opportunities ahead of the holiday. Guests can choose from a variety of photo packages available from Backroad Pix.
Home Refresh. With the arrival of spring, many are deep cleaning and sprucing up home décor. Cottontails features home design inspiration and vendors with home goods, as well as items to take spring entertaining to the next level.
