With news like this coming on a Friday, you know it’s going to be a good weekend. Eat in the Streets returns this weekend, May 7-8, to Downtown Birmingham. Keep reading to get all the details.

Eat in the Streets

Today the City of Birmingham announced that Eat in the Streets will return this weekend with three locations:

Downtown Birmingham
Pepper Place
The Pizitz Food Hall

The festivities will include tons of food (obviously), drinks and live entertainment. Plus, from the looks of it, some great weather too. The outdoor dining extravaganza began last year during the height of quarantine as a way to safely support local businesses (and give us the chance to take a break from being indoors), and we’re thrilled to see it return in 2021.

Dowtown Birmingham

The fun begins for Eat in the Streets in Downtown Birmingham this evening, Friday May 7 at 5PM, between 1st Avenue North and 3rd Avenue North. Check out the full schedule for the downtown section:

Friday, May 7, 5-10PM
