Gee’s Bend Airing of the Quilts Festival

Boykin, Alabama
October 4, 2025

Held in and around the Welcome Center in this mecca of Black quilting, the festival is a lot more than a marketplace. Displays, workshops, guided tours, and food on offer make it a celebration of the Gee’s Bend makers, their monumental contributions to American art, and the history of protest, perseverance, and pride in their art and their identity.
