Tinglewood Festival

Celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and community at the Tinglewood Festival, Montevallo’s signature event held annually in the heart of Orr Park! Named in honor of the late Tim Tingle, the festival brings together artists, families, and visitors from across the region for a day of wood carving, local flavor, and unforgettable fun.

Set beneath the canopy of whimsical carved cedar trees along Shoal Creek, the Tinglewood Festival showcases live chainsaw carving demonstrations, a whittling contest hosted by Tim Tingle himself, and handcrafted wood art from regional makers—ranging from rustic furniture to decorative sculptures, birdhouses, toys, and more.

But Tinglewood is more than just woodwork:
