Dothan, Al (WDNews) – Holly Myers with Art in Public Places joined What’s Happening Wiregrass to talk about the return of The Loop Festival in downtown Dothan. Now in its fifth year, the popular event is moving to a new location at Porter Park and along St. Andrews Street, offering what organizers hope will be a permanent home.
The free, family-friendly festival will take place Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11, featuring more than 55 artists, live music, food vendors, and interactive art experiences. Attendees can expect everything from clay demonstrations to weaving displays, along with opportunities to contribute to large community mural boards.
Live entertainment will include a mix of genres, from DJs and jam bands on Friday night to country, soul, and blues performances on Saturday. Alabama Danceworks will also perform during the weekend.
Food trucks, a new amphitheater setting, mural tours, and a patron experience with added perks will round out the event. Organizers say the festival continues to grow each year while keeping its mission centered on accessible art and community engagement.
