Visitors of all ages will have the chance to see how stone tools were made and used for thousands of years while engaging directly with living traditions and hands-on learning.

Whether you are interested in learning to knap (registration required for participating UA students) or simply want to observe demonstrations and engage with educators, the Moundville Lithic Arts Festival offers a welcoming, educational experience for all ages. Rain or shine.

About Knapping: 
Flintknapping is the shaping of stone through controlled fracturing, a process known as lithic reduction, to create tools such as arrow and spear points, knife blades, scrapers, and drills. Indigenous peoples across North America relied on these tools for daily life, and this festival highlights the skill, knowledge, and artistry of this practice.

Moundville Lithic Arts Festival hours are from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm each day. The Park grounds are open from dawn to dusk. The Admissions office is open from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and the Museum is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, seven days a week. Rain or Shine.
