International Day of Birmingham – Wednesday 24th September!

Birmingham is about to throw a party like no other! Mark your calendars for Wednesday 24th September, when the city comes alive for the International Day of Birmingham (IDOB) – a celebration of Brummie pride, culture, and community spirit. 

From sunrise to late-night laughter, the city will be buzzing with events showcasing the best of Birmingham’s creativity, humour, history, and heart. Whether you’re a proud local or just Brummie at heart, there’s something for everyone. 

Here are just a few of the highlights you won’t want to miss: 

  • United States of Birmingham photo exhibition at Zellig 
  • Flashbab takeover in Colmore Square – complete with the Lord Mayor’s chant, a vibrant procession, and Joe Lycett raising the flag! 
  • Brummie Bazaar at the Custard Factory – shop from local makers, feast on delicious food, and enjoy live music 
  • Mr Eggshibition + egg scavenger hunt (yes, you read that right!) 
  • 6K Run through Brum’s quirkiest landmarks 
  • Special screenings, talks & Q&As with Joe Lycett and friends at The Old Rep 
  • Bab’s Big Blowout at The Old Crown – comedy, music, and even Mr Egg workshops 
  • Birmingham landmarks lit up in IDOB colours to close out the day in style
