City Events

The Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce and City of Vestavia Hills have joined forces to continue supporting our local merchants! We want Vestavia Hills to be THE destination for shopping, entertainment and FUN! and we have big plans to do just that!

We encourage all Vestavia Hills businesses to paint their storefront windows so that our residents — as well as residents of other cities — venture out to view and photograph these Instagrammable masterpieces!

More than 30 Vestavia Hills businesses participated last year and we hope to have even more this year! Residents and visitors will be encouraged to visit our business communities while shopping and dining this holiday season. Don’t miss this opportunity to attract patrons to your front door!

Need a painter? David Hall is an experienced painter, and his prices start at just $100. Feel free to hire your own painter or call David directly at 205.965.6626. (See samples of David’s work in the video below.) And, to make it a little easier, Sheniqua Fox will remove the paint once the season is over. She can be contacted directly at tdclean@att.net. The cost is minimal – starting at just $55!

Send a quick email to eanderson@vhal.org to let us know if you are participating so that your business is added to our promotions! Happy holidays and happy painting!

Check out last year’s masterpieces!
