BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) has been transformed into a festive wonderland for the 45th year. Christmas Village is back!

The beloved shopping tradition and local favorite runs from Wednesday, Nov. 4 to Sunday, Nov. 8. It features more than 700 local, regional and national vendors, offering one-of-a-kind holiday finds.

From holiday gifts and decor to gourmet food and handcrafted items, Christmas Village promises to have something for everyone to find.

“We love bringing the holiday cheer to Birmingham every year. The BJCC is transformed into a winter wonderland for our 45th year celebration,” said Kelsey Jackson, show manager. “We’ve been running for more than four decades, and so the show is part of annual holiday tradition for families and friend groups. We love that they can leave the rest of the world behind and enjoy the holiday spirit with the seasonal music, gorgeous décor, gift ideas and the Christmas trees and holiday lights.”
