The Moss Rock Festival brought local and national artists and vendors to share their gifts with the Hoover community on Nov. 2-3.
Guests of the festival could shop for items such as ceramics, candles, decorations or colorful bags. Festival organizers also provided plenty of opportunities for visitors to connect with nature. A bee hive display offered an inside view into the creation of honey. Around the corner, nature experts answered questions about bird species and wildlife in the local parks. While adults enjoyed the beer garden and live music, children engaged in hands-on activities and crafts.
The special exhibition this year featured six printmakers and artists from the University of Montevallo who explored the natural beauty of Ebenezer Swamp in Alabaster.
"Collectively, their work investigates and celebrates the exceptional biodiversity, natural beauty and educational and recreational uses of Ebenezer Swamp," festival organizers stated on the Moss Rock Festival website.
