One night a year, we convert a special section of Railroad Park into an interactive campground for families. A host of experts will give lessons on everything from astronomy to creek ecology to raw materials in nature - and an animal show 'n tell from the Birmingham Zoo will delight campers of all ages. Bring your tent and your family, and we'll take care of the rest. Registration fee includes all activities and an abundance of healthy and delicious food for families to enjoy throughout the event, including multiple dinner options, a variety of snacks and treats, an array of grab ’n go breakfast items, and a plethora of non-alcoholic beverages all catered by Publix!
It's a rare opportunity to camp in a way that you haven't before‐and to make memories and gain camping insight that you'll take with you through the years.
We've teamed up with PNC Bank to host the #BHAMProud Contest, a monthly video challenge with new themes and a Birmingham themed prize pack each month. Through #BHAMProudContest, we're challenging you to portray your civic pride through your videos: Why are YOU #BHAMProud?
Record a quick vlog, show us a slideshow or just whip out your phone and take us to a cool moment - all styles of video are welcome and encouraged.
We'll announce a new fun challenge each month through September, and the entrant whose video receives the most votes will receive a Birmingham Prize Pack valued at $250 and a Railroad Park Foundation “Park Proud" membership valued at $82. These prize packs are all about celebrating Birmingham -- trust us, June's prize is delicious... and James Beard award-winning. 😉
