International Day of Birmingham Celebration
As part of the wider celebrations for International Day of Birmingham 2025, we’re hosting a short and spirited activation in Colmore Square, right in the heart of the Colmore Business District. This is a moment designed especially for the local business community to enjoy a quick burst of Birmingham pride during their lunch break.
📍 Colmore Square, Birmingham
📅 Wednesday, 24 September
🕐 13:00 – 13:45
💷 Free to attend
✨ What’s happening in Colmore Square (our bit):
- Pick up your copy of Joe Lycett’s United States of Birmingham: 10 Things to Do in Birmingham itinerary
- Grab a free Curly Wurly (while stocks last!)
- Enjoy a few light-hearted surprises that celebrate the Brummie spirit
- Join us for a joyful flashmob-style chorus of “Alright Bab!” at 13:30
From there, attendees are welcome to join the wider city-led procession to the Council House for the flag-raising ceremony at 13:45 — but please note, this part of the event is managed by other organisers.
