Although Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is primarily a college town and the home of the University of Alabama, there is plenty to do in the Druid City when school is not in session. The Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, which opened in 2011, is located on Jack Warner Parkway in downtown Tuscaloosa. During the summer of 2012, a variety of musical acts will be playing at the amphitheater. Some notable acts playing the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater this summer include Daughtry on June 16, Counting Crows on June 28, Ringo Starr on July 3, Crosby, Still, and Nash, on July 11, Dukes of September on July 28, Merle Haggard and Jamey Johnson on August 11, and B.B.

Tannehill Trade Days occur from March to November, on the third Saturday and Sunday of the month, and feature over 200 vendors in 2012. The official summer fun began Memorial Day weekend with a Civil War reenactment of the Skirmish at Tannehill, and more events are planned for the rest of the summer. On June 9 and 16 annual Down Home Psaltery Festival will feature musical entertainment. In July, the Antique Engine and Tractor Show will take place at the park from July 13 - 15.
