Sylacauga

The 2023 "Magic of Marble" Festival kicks off Tuesday and is expected to be the biggest ever. The twelve-day event (April 11- April 22) will showcase Sylacauga's white marble and feature sculptors in action at the city's Blue Bell Park.

Alabama has its share of annual events. There’s the Boll Weevil festival in Enterprise. The town of Opp holds its rattlesnake rodeo every year. And visitors to Gulf Shores can take in the National Shrimp Festival. If fungus is your thing, you can add the Alabama Mushroom Festival to your list. APR graduate student intern Cori Yonge takes us to the inaugural event where fans, both serious and novice, gathered recently to talk all things mushrooms.
