Food trucks to gather for PreSchool Partners event

Food trucks around Birmingham will reconvene at Brookwood Village on Saturday, May 2 for the fourth annual Food Truck Round Up.

The Round Up, sponsored by Protective Life, will benefit PreSchool Partners, which prepares at-risk preschool children and their parents for kindergarten in Birmingham City Schools. The event will feature live music, gourmet food, a bounce house, face painting and an art show with works from local artists and PreSchool Partners students. 

The organization is hoping to beat the $62,000 raised and 1,000 attendees from last year. Some of the beverage companies featured will be Good People Brewery and Supreme Beverage. 

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and are available at preschool-partners.org. Kids under 10 get in free. Tickets include four tokens redeemable at any food trucks or beverage stations. The event will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in the upper Macy’s parking lot.
