Directions to Festival:
From Birmingham take I-65 North to the interchange and take I-59 South towards Tuscaloosa. Exit on Highway 78 Arkadelphia Road and head west. Go approximately 35 miles through Adamsville, Graysville, Sumiton and Dora. When you get to Jasper, look for the Wal-Mart Supercenter on your left. In May of 2002, a 78 highway bypass was opened and it turns left before you get to Wal-Mart....DO NOT take this bypass. Continue on what is now called Highway 118 (it's the old Highway 78). Counting the light at Wal-Mart, you will take a right at the 3rd traffic light. You will see a Burger King and McDonalds on the right. The right turn will put you on Airport road. Continue for about 4 miles until you reach the intersection of Airport Road and highway 257 (Curry Road). Go straight at the intersection and go for about 1/2 mile turn left on Plum Street and turn right on Bluegrass Lane and you're there.
From Tuscaloosa: Take 69 North to Jasper. Turn left on 3rd Avenue and follow to Highway 78. T
