Rounding up the food trucks

Birmingham’s food trucks will converge at Colonial Brookwood Village for a good cause on Saturday, April 26. From 11 a.m.-3 p.m. in the upper Macy’s parking lot, the trucks will feature their local cuisine to benefit PreSchool Partners, which prepares at-risk preschool children and their parents for kindergarten in Birmingham City Schools. 

Funds raised will directly help the 140 people and 70 children enrolled in the program and reach those who aren’t enrolled. This year’s goal is to exceed last year’s $76,000.

Food trucks attending will be Cantina, Dreamcakes, Ezell’s Catfish Cabin, Full Moon BBQ, Goodies Ice Cream, Mellow Mushroom, Melt, Nola Ice, Off the Hook, Repicci’s Italian Ice, Shindigs, Slice and Spoonfed Grill.

Good People Brewery, Supreme Beverage and Coca-Cola will provide beverages, and Birmingham Mountain Radio will provide live music. There will also be two bounce houses, face painting and balloon art by clowns.

Tickets can be purchased online in advance for $20 or on-site for $25. Each ticket comes with four tokens to redeem at the trucks and beverage stations. Additional tokens can be purchased, and kids 10 and under get in free.
