We are big fans of Birmingham, Alabama over here! It’s an amazing city with tons to do, eat, and see. But over this next week in April they’ve got a ton going on. Everything from the Magnolia Festival to a Gumbo Gala to the ONLY Indy Series in the Deep South.

 

So take a look at this list from our friends at In Birmingham and get ready to pack your bags:
