What's Happening in Birmingham This October

From a Halloween parade to the library's Books and Bites, you'll be busy — not bored — in Birmingham this month.

October is the time for Fall and Halloween in Birmingham, and there's plenty of special events happening around town all month long.

Patch will keep you up to date with what's going on every week, but we've got your monthly look ahead to keep as a handy reference.

The thing is, we know we've missed some events — some of which haven't been announced yet — so leave us a comment and let us know what else is going on this month. Our goal is to keep you informed.
