Skies were free of rain, temperatures were pleasant and art and eco-creative ideas were plentiful at the 2025 Moss Rock Festival in the parking lot at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium on Saturday.
More than 100 artists who use a wide array of mediums had their goods on display and available for purchase as people browsed among the booths. The “smart living” market also featured fresh, organic, locally made, sustainable products and consumables in the areas of food, home décor, body and health products and technology.
Kids had a chance to take part in art projects at the Wonderkid Studio, and there were Planet Projects on display by children from several schools in the area.
The Crescent Stage featured live music and dancing by performers such as the Mad Hatter Dance Co., Southern DanceWorks, Dala Dance Co., Rebecca Egeland, Tri-City Jazz Trio, The Starlings, Havoc and The Legendary Pineapple Skinners. On Sunday, the Wyrd Arts Group, RUST, Deader Than Disco and Natyananda took the stage.
The Festival Cafe included food trucks by Eugene’s Hot Chicken, Hey Bebe (New Orleans-style food), Rae Rae’s Catering, Son’s Donuts, Son’s Pops, Red Diamond Co. and Coca-Cola.
The festival also had a beer garden from 12:30 to 3 p.m. featuring craft beers from Alabama breweries and beyond, wine, snacks and beer floats.
Tickets for the Moss Rock Festival cost $12 in advance and $15 at the gate, but children ages 18 and under got in free. Tickets for the beer garden cost $35 in advance or $45 at the gate and included full festival access.
