on Water Avenue. This year's event is Saturday, Oct. 12

from 9 a.m. til 5 p.m. There will be quality arts and crafts vendors,

music, food, clowns, games and more!

Y'all come!

Puttin' on the Dixieland

Water Avenue reverberates with music, music, music during the annual

Riverfront Market Day in October, and that includes Dixieland jazz

from The Upper Society of Lower Water Avenue. I pulled this photo

from last year's festival. Be sure and save Saturday, Oct. 12 for this year's music,

arts, crafts and food festival! It coincides with the Alabama Tale-Tellin' Festival

that Friday and Saturday.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
