The 1989 City Stages was the inaugural edition of City Stages: "Birmingham's World-Class Music Festival". The entire festival took place on five stages within Linn Park on June 16-18 with about 70 acts.
Advance weekend passes were available for sale at Food-World, Highland Bank and several AmSouth branches for $5, or for $5.50 by telephone through Fastix. Daily tickets were sold on site for $3 per day for adults and $1 for children under 12. Beer was served in re-usable yellow plastic mugs. The estimated attendance for the weekend was 38,000.
In addition to the musical acts, the first City Stages included the Alabama Folklife Festival and the City Stages Jazz Camp with Ellis Marsalis. A Children's Festival provided hands-on activities and a book walk sponsored by the Birmingham Public Library.
