Welcome to the Blount Cultural Park! A lush oasis in the city inspired by the English Countryside, it is one of the finest and most unique offerings of cultural and family activities in the world. Set among numerous lakes, trails, gardens, and pavilions, you will find some of our nation's best cultural destinations, including the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. The Shakespeare Garden, one of seven such major gardens in the USA, features plants and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare's plays including perennial herbs, annual flowers, willow arbors, shade trees, and garden shrubs. This facility includes a thatched-roof Pavilion and a 325 seat Amphitheatre. The Park is frequently the host site for outdoor concerts by the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra and performances by the Montgomery Ballet. Located in the heart of the south, numerous community and themed festivals and events are held in the Park each year. Where else can you watch Scottish Highlanders dance and compete, or enjoy a Symphony "Under the Stars", and follow the day up with a play or musical featuring the best writers and actors in the business? The Park truly "offers you the world", and you will find the Montgomery area and River Region have many outstanding things to do and see. Whether you are planning a day outdoors with the family, a night at the theatre, or a vacation in the area, you will want to experience one of America's best cultural treasures. |
