Taco ‘bout a good time! Join Bare Hands, Inc. in celebrating the city’s top taco vendors and food trucks during the seventh annual Birmingham Taco Fest presented by Rubio Law Firm on Sunday, May 19, 2024 from 1 to 7 p.m. at Sloss Furnaces (20 32nd St. N., Birmingham, AL 35222). With approximately 20 taco vendors competing to be crowned top taco, this fiesta will be packed with family fun, food and lots of flavor! Along with the good eats, taco lovers can also expect an artist village, live music, libations, a children’s area and more. As a cultural and culinary experience for attendees, Taco Fest creates awareness of the many restaurants and artists that are proud to call Birmingham home. Proceeds from the event will benefit Bare Hands, Inc., a local arts organization dedicated to creating meaningful art experiences for artists and the Birmingham community.
Tacos will be on deck from vendors from all over the Birmingham metro area! A panel of judges will determine Birmingham’s best tacos and will pick winners for the pork, beef, chicken, and specialty taco categories, while the “People’s Choice” award will be chosen by attendees eating their way through the festival. Event goers can pair their taco selection with delicious beverages, including ice cold Pepsi/Buffalo Rock products, cocktails by Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Bacardi Rum and Tequila Cazadores, along with refreshing Patrón Tequila margaritas and authentic Latino cervezas, including Estrella Jalisco, Famosa and more. Additionally, attendees can indulge in sweet treats from local dessert trucks!
The artist village will have handmade items for sale, along with activities for kids of all ages. Additional artists and food vendors are welcome to participate and can apply via the event’s website.
