Birmingham’s 4th annual Taco Fest Taco Trail kicking off in September
Reading time: 3 minutes
The 4th annual Birmingham Taco Fest looks a little different this year. Instead of an in-person event, you can celebrate by participating in the Taco Fest Taco Trail, a month-long event featuring an interactive taco map highlighting and leading you to the best tacos in Birmingham. Get the deets—and the obligatory taco puns—here.
Let’s Taco ‘Bout the Taco Trail 🌮
This year’s Taco Fest was originally scheduled for June 20, at Sloss Furnaces, and then rescheduled for Sept. 11. Now, they’ve reimagined Birmingham’s Taco Fest into a month-long Taco Trail—a.k.a the ultimate excuse to exclusively eat tacos for a month without fear of judgment.
An interactive map will highlight some of Birmingham’s best taco spots—from restaurants to authentic food trucks—and will be available for taco lovers to discover some of Birmingham’s best on their own time.
The event, which is traditionally a fundraiser for Bare Hands Inc., will be free this year. But, donations are encouraged and will go towards their outreach programs which include:
