City Stages was a three-day arts and music festival in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, that took place in and around Linn Park from 1989 to 2009.

After losses in 2009 amounted to nearly half a million dollars, the organization running City Stages announced on June 25, 2009 that the event would not return the next year.

[1] City Stages' organizers announced in November 2007 that they hired AC Entertainment, one of the co-producers for the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, to help produce the Birmingham festival and advise them for the next three years.

[2] The final City Stages was held on June 13–15, 2009, on Father's Day Weekend.

Ticket sales were hampered by inclement weather, a struggling economy, and a perceived low-quality artist lineup.
