Initiatives & Events
REV proves markets where others may not believe they exist. Events are a powerful tool to show the potential of places, programs and businesses. REV’s register of initiatives and events changes as the city changes. Here’s what we’re doing now:
SOCIALVENTURE
Converted in 2013 from vacant warehouse to offices rich in industrial vibe, SocialVenture is a co-working space, meeting space and change-making space in the heart of Woodlawn.
WOODLAWN MARKETPLACE
Woodlawn Marketplace is a retail incubator which features 11 veteran Woodlawn Street Market vendors selling local goods! The Marketplace originally began as a 4-month long pop-up in Fall 2021 and due to its success, we’ve decided to press on and launch a larger, more permanent version. Come out and shop local with us!
WOODLAWN STREET MARKET
What happens when big personality hits a small street? Welcome to the Woodlawn Street Market. This urban street market provides a platform for startup businesses, pairing local retail & food with live entertainment in the heart of historic Woodlawn.

More than just looks, the role 20th street plants play during winter
Filed Under: Downtown Birmingham, Front Page, Get Involved, Yaysayers
With winter approaching, most plants on 20th are entering dormancy. These plants provide more than just a pretty landscape they also support native wildlife. The plants chosen for the Birmingham Green refresh were strategically placed to offer low-maintenance options and add a sense of place. Plants play a much larger role than just looking attractive.

Marking a milestone: celebrating 10 years of REV Birmingham!
Filed Under: Front Page, Potential-Proving, Uncategorized, Yaysayers
TODAY IS THE DAY! REV Birmingham is celebrating 10 years of creating vibrant commercial districts in the City of Birmingham. Today is all about celebrating the past decade of success and all that we have accomplished. It all started ten years ago when two organizations – Operation New Birmingham and Main Street Birmingham – merged to create the one and only REV Birmingham. We have covered so much ground since then, from historic building rehab consulting all the way to our refresh of 20th Street North – and we are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for us here at REV.
