Rooster Day

ARTS & CRAFTS • FOOD • KIDS' GAMES • LIVE ENTERTAINMENT • FUN FOR ALL!

In 1919, Demopolis hosted the great Rooster Auction to raise funds to build a bridge over the Tombigbee River connecting Marengo and Sumter counties, the last link in the Dixie Overland Highway. Thus was erected the infamous Rooster Bridge through funds raised! Join the Marengo County Historical Society in commemorating this unique event in Alabama history at Rooster Day! Guests can run the Cock’s Crow 5K or 1K, browse Rooster Fair in Public Square (artists/crafters/makers - all handmade), enjoy local food, as you listen to live entertainment, and let the kids be kids at the Coop Games!
