Top Picks for weekend fun around Birmingham!

The Blount County Fair features a professionally managed and family-friendly midway full of rides to suit all ages, as well as food booths from which you can get barbeque, hamburgers, hotdogs, authentic Mexican cuisine, and more…plus the traditional fair foods like funnel cakes, cotton candy, popcorn, nachos, and more!

Enjoy this unique opportunity for healthy fun with the family in the gardens of Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum is excited to host it’s first Superhero Express.

It seems that trains and superheroes go hand-in-hand… It’s about time they get to ride a train that they won’t have to rescue!

Suit up – as a superhero or as a heroic difference-maker in your own community – and assemble to ride the train alongside some of your favorite caped crusaders.

Enjoy time on the museum grounds before or after your train ride with a number of Community Heroes, including firefighters, police officers, military, rescue personnel, animal protection agencies, and more. Purchase lunch or a sweet treat from various food trucks, create a FREE superhero-themed craft, and be sure to take lots of photos to commemorate your epic day of fun on the Superhero Express!
