Things to Do in Auburn & Opelika This March

Things to Do in Auburn & Opelika to Add to Your Calendar

March is when Auburn and Opelika really start waking up again. Because warmer afternoons mean more time outside, the community calendar fills up quickly. Whether you’re new to the area or you’ve called this place home for years, there’s always something happening that helps you stay connected to the heartbeat of the community.

Here are a few events happening this month that are worth checking out.

Arts, Culture & Entertainment

Early in the month, the Opelika Center for the Performing Arts hosts Cirque Kalabanté on March 8, bringing high-energy performance and acrobatics to the local stage. It’s a great option if you’re looking for something different than the usual dinner outing.

For those who enjoy local creative experiences, the Spring Invitational Exhibition kicks off March 9 and runs through April, highlighting regional artists and adding another opportunity to explore Auburn’s art scene.

And toward the end of March, one of the area’s most anticipated music events arrives, the Opelika Songwriters Festival, March 26–29. Over 40 artists perform across multiple downtown venues, creating an intimate and walkable live music experience that draws fans from across the Southeast.

Community Favorites

If you enjoy relaxed evenings out, then you will love Food Truck Friday. It returns in March with local trucks, live music, and vendors gathering in downtown Opelika. It’s a free community event and always a fun way to support small businesses and spend time outdoors.

Another unique local experience offered throughout the year is Tea on Thach, a monthly high-tea gathering featuring specialty teas and curated bites, perfect for slowing down and catching up with friends.

🐾 Bark in the Park — Come See Us

One event especially meaningful to our team is Bark in the Park, hosted as part of Auburn’s Parks and Recreation annual events lineup. This pet-friendly gathering celebrates the community’s love for animals and time outdoors.

Because of our continued involvement supporting CARE Humane Society and our Homes for Dogs initiative, Kent McCown Group will be there, and we would love for you to stop by and say hello if you’re attending.

Events like this reflect what we love most about this area, which is a strong sense of connection between neighbors, families, and even our pets.
