Food Truck Row: What's a picnic without food? While you are welcome to bring your own picnic to enjoy, we'll have some of Birmingham's best food trucks offering yummy options to satisfy your appetite. This area is proudly sponsored by ProAssurance. NOTE: Cooler and bag checks will be implemented. Glass and outside alcohol violate Railroad Park Rules. We'll have bars set up to purchase adult beverages for your convenience.
