SYLACAUGA, Ala. – The annual Magic of Marble Festival will soon kick off in Sylacauga, with the first stage – the Marble Festival Scavenger Hunt 2026 – already underway today. Get your forms at the B.B. Comer Memorial Library or the Comer Museum, and start hunting.
Find as many as you can; if you miss a few, that is ok! Turn your forms in anyway. Have fun. A children’s version is taking place inside the Comer Museum.
The Festival itself is scheduled to start Tuesday, April 7th with sculptors gathering under the tents in Central Park. There are all sorts of other related activities through Saturday, April 18th. The B.B. Comer Library always has past Marble Festival works on display, along with pieces of marble art on sale.
The library hosts another interesting addition, The Saturday Adult Series: “Mind and Motion” Fitness Guide for Adults. Led by Charles and Ada Cummings, this session uses sculpting as a mindful practice to help you: reduce stress, enhance focus, and promote emotional well-being. Working with your hands is a powerful way to find balance, and a calmer, more centered you.
That is scheduled for Saturday, April 11th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the B.B. Comer Memorial Library, which is always a great stop for information on all the ot events and activities associated with the Magic of Marble Festival, including registration for marble quarry tours.
