From 11 am to 1 pm this Wednesday (TODAY) residents, workers and visitors can walk to 19th Street and Avenue F in Ensley to grab a delicious meal.

Some of Birmingham’s favorite local food trucks, including Cantina on WheelsGranny’s Fish N’ Grits, and Magic City Sweet Ice, are joining us to bring good food and fun to your work day!

Ensley Merchants have banded together to accomplish a number of goals: one of them is to create an event that allows Birmingham to see Ensley in a new light. Customers will also have the opportunity to meet some of Ensley’s long-time business owners to find out what they believe makes Ensley special. #EnsleyAlive
