Sun Festival

Sun Festival is a community development and tourism initiative designed to enhance the lifestyles in the Alexander City and Lake Martin areas. It is a 9 day family friendly festival comprised of events and activities with something for everyone.

Sun Festival is the work of many and made a reality by our city and county governments along with numerous sponsors from our business community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve this region and realize that without the multitude of people and organizations providing their support, none of this could happen. Please make every effort to personally thank the sponsors for their commitment to Sun Festival and our volunteers for their time.

Get ready for a great week in and around Alexander City. Happy Sun Festival everyone!

Medallion Hunt
6 am
Alexander City, AL

Listen for the early morning riddle first at 6 am and then again at 7 am on The Front Porch/Kowaliga Country 97.5. The clues will be shared on the Sun Festival, Alexander City Chamber of Commerce and Alexander City Outlook Facebook pages at 6 am. When solved, the riddle will lead you to an official Sun Festival Alexander City medallion worth $200. The medallion will be hidden within the Alexander City city limits.

If the medallion has not been found by 3 pm, an additional clue will be given through all media outlets listed above. Should the medallion not be found on any given day, it will roll to the next day with a new medallion riddle for that day’s treasure as well. In this scenario, more than one medallion is in play.

When you find the medallion, call Kowaliga Country 97.5 at 256-234-6221 and then take the medallion to the Alexander City Outlook to collect your prize and have your picture made.
