Drummers perform at Whispers From The Past at the Alrdige Gardens on October 2, 2016.
The 2017 Whispers from the Past Native American festival that was supposed to take place this Sunday at Aldridge Gardens has been postponed for a week due to the threat of rain.
The festival will now occur on Sunday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Aldridge CEO Tynette Lynch said.
Lynch said the Birmingham office of the National Weather Service has assured her that this Sunday will be a wet Sunday, so Aldridge officials decided to go ahead and reschedule the event for its “rain date.”
“We apologize for any inconvenience this causes and hope that everyone will come out on Sunday, Oct. 15, to support our event,” Lynch said.
