Arts & Entertainment

Dale County is known for its generous support of the arts, and burgeoning artists and enthusiasts alike benefit from the rich artistic culture. The Dowling Museum/Ann Rudd Center, through the efforts of the Dale County Council of Arts and Humanities, offers an opportunity for local and regional artists to showcase their works to a receptive audience.

The Ozark Civic Center, with a seating capacity of over 4,000, provides the largest center of this size from Mobile to Tallahassee. It hosts a wide range of entertainment from concerts, trade shows, sporting events, and the circus.

The Ozark Area, despite its growth and success, still maintains a small town atmosphere, which is evident in its many festivals and events that bring the community together. The Claybank Jamboree Arts and Crafts festival starts the first Saturday in October has something the whole family can enjoy.

Other popular events include a Civil War Reenactment, Fourth of July Celebration, South Alabama Pro Rodeo Classic and much more.
