Get ready to shop! Cottontail’s Village, Birmingham’s most popular spring shopping event will take place at The BJCC on February 28-March 2, 2025. The seasonal shopping event returns with more than 500 local, regional, and national vendors showcasing unique items for spring entertaining, holidays, 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.
“Cottontail’s is three days packed with springtime magic. It’s a refreshing preview of spring after getting through a couple of wintry months,” said Jennifer Smetana, Show Manager. “Like its sister event the Christmas Village Festival, Cottontail’s is one of Birmingham’s longest running consumer events that’s become a multigenerational tradition for local families and friends who return year after year to get a taste of spring with lots of photo opps, great shopping, and fun, seasonal activities.” Cottontail’s Village highlights include:
Easter Bunny Photos. Snap a photo with the Easter Bunny 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. Cottontail’s Village features décor inspiration and vendors with home goods, as well as items to take spring entertaining to the next level.
