It’s another great week for events in the Magic City. Fat Tuesday celebrations start things off on a festive note, with just as much following with each new day after. Multiple festivals join the usual routine of stellar comedy and music events to make for a very eventful next few days. Here are a few of the events we are most looking forward to.

Is there anything more BHM than Black History Month in Birmingham?

Simone’s Kitchen ATL will be celebrating some of the amazing food trucks, vendors, and musicians that make our city so special this Saturday at Cahaba Brewing. A-Train, Fat Charles, Naughty But Nice, Eat-Abilities, O’ My Turkey Leg & More, Lemonade Junkeez, Wicked Wieners, Frozen Rooster, Not Ya Average Lead, A Dab of This and A Dab of That, and Corn Cab will all be in attendance with DJ Gap bringing the great tunes.

We often find ourselves surrounded by divisiveness in the world, but there is always one force that can bring us together - the Impractical Jokers.

One of our favorite monthly events is returning to The Nick this Sunday from 5 to 7pm. Taylor Hollingsworth will be playing great music with no cover to provide the perfect Sunday Funday atmosphere. We are truly blessed by how many great musicians play here so consistently and Taylor is often leading the charge in that category.
