Socially Distant
To ensure the safety of the collective during the event, locals must abide by social distance guidelines, including maintaining a distance of six feet and wearing a face covering.
It’s been a privilege to partner with the City of Birmingham to offer you this socially distant dining experience. We can’t wait to see you this weekend to celebrate the holiday season.
“Eat in the Streets has been a fantastic way to support our local restaurants as well as allow residents to enjoy the incredible meals they’ve come to love. Now that the holidays are upon us, it’s even more important to embrace the fellowship that the season brings, while also adhering to social distancing and facial covering guidelines. Eat in the Streets allows us to do both,’’ said Mayor Randall L. Woodfin.
