History

In 2000, the Alabama Department of Transportation rerouted U.S. Highway 280 south of the town of Waverly instead of routing the highway through town. If the State of Alabama had gone ahead with its original plan, the town of Waverly would have ceased to exist.

To celebrate saving the town, residents in 2001 decided to hold an annual "Waverly Boogie" (or "Old 280 Boogie"), a multi-cultural festival typically held on the third Saturday in April to exhibit a wide variety of musicians and visual artists. The event is held in the neighborhood's open-air amphitheater at the design and at Standard Deluxe.

  • The 2012 Waverly Boogie featured sets from Centro-Matic, Hurray for the Riff Raff and The Pine Hill Haints among others
  • The 2013 Waverly Boogie was held on April 20, 2013, and featured headliner Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires among others
  • The 2014 event was held on April 19, 2014, and featured Junior Brown, Lydia Loveless, The Pine Hill Haints, Rayland Baxter, Have Gun, Will Travel, Shivering Timbers, and Belle Adair; a Fall Boogie was held September 13, 2014
