HOMEWOOD, Alabama – A small convoy of food trucks and trailers will take over the upper level parking lot outside Macy’s at Colonial Brookwood Village on Saturday for the second Protective Life Food Truck Round Up.

Fourteen vendors – double the number at last year's inaugural event in Mountain Brook Village – will take part this year. The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event benefits the nonprofit PreSchool Partners, which helps prepare at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds, and their parents, for kindergarten in the Birmingham City Schools.

Among their many options, guests may choose from the some of the creative Southern dishes offered by Shindigs Catering and Spoonfed Grill, Vietnamese fare from Fresh Off the Bun, gourmet pizza from Slice, grilled sandwiches from Melt, seafood from Off the Hook, and cupcakes from Dreamcakes.

Coca-Cola will serve soft drinks, and Good People Brewing Company and Supreme Beverage Company will offer beers.

The Food Truck Round Up also includes live music from Dos Hermanos and face painting by Magic City Face Art.
