Titusville Day is an annual celebration held at Memorial Park since 1984. It is organized by the Titusville Ministerial Alliance and the Titusville Development Corporation.

2008

After a one-year absence the event was celebrated with renewed vigor on July 5, 2008. A prayer breakfast was held at Leonard's Barbecue with Jefferson County Commissioner Shelia Smoot serving as Mistress of Ceremonies and Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford earning a standing ovation after he unveiled a $65 million renovation plan for the area.

For the rest of the day musical groups, food tents, swimming, kids activities and a health fair shared the park.

2010

The 2010 Titusville Day expanded to four days with baseball games, picnics, gospel concerts, health screenings. It was funded in part by a grant from the Alabama Tourism Department, which used 2010 to promote small towns and communities across the state.
