The Edge 12 cinema at Crestwood Festival Center

The Crestwood Festival Center (formerly Eastwood Festival Centre) is a 352,280-square foot shopping center located on a 41-acre site cut into Red Mountain at 7001 Crestwood Boulevard (U. S. Highway 78) in Birmingham.

The shopping center was constructed in 1988 and opened in 1989 with Home Depot and Festival 18 as anchor tenants. During construction, which involved cutting into Red Mountain, a landslide occurred, causing damage to several buildings at the adjacent Mountain Top Apartments.

The "Crestwood-Oporto District Redevelopment Plan", commissioned from KPS Group by the City of Birmingham and completed in January 2006, envisioned a redevelopment of the Festival Centre site for residential uses with retail/office buildings facing Crestwood Boulevard

On the evening of December 25, 2011 a large group of unsupervised youths disrupted theater operations, roamed around the theaters and shopping center in unruly packs, and looted the open candy shelves in the lobby. Operators closed the cinema and Birmingham Police dispersed the crowds. Similar gatherings reportedly have occurred near multiplexes in Trussville and Vestavia Hills.

In early 2012 the shopping center was sold by Developers Diversified Realty of Beechwood, Ohio to Skyline International Development Inc. and Mark Gold of Toronto, Canada for $3 million. The company announced plans for a multi-million renovation, including space for a Birmingham Police Department substation and community outreach center.
