As the sweltering summer days continue here in Birmingham, Alabama, the feeling of fall is just around the corner. It’s that exciting time of year when people start preparing their end-of-summer plans. We decided to ask around: *What’s one thing you want to check off your end-of-summer bucket list before the seasons change?* Here are some responses along with a few suggestions of our own!
What says summer more than enjoying a classic stadium hot dog or a delicious funnel cake at the ballpark? If you haven’t experienced a Barons game yet, you’re in luck! There are only seven more home games at Regions Field this season. So grab your friends, don your team jersey, and enjoy one last exciting game before summer wraps up. And don’t forget — it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in that Thirsty Thursday special!
Are you from the South? Then you know that summer just wouldn’t be complete without savoring a ripe tomato sandwich. Seriously, have you had one yet this season? If you haven’t, now’s your chance! As summer begins to wind down, make sure to visit some of the local Birmingham-area farmers markets. They’re full of delicious summer produce just waiting to be cooked up, and you won’t want to miss out!
The weather may be cooling down a bit, but it’s still a great time to enjoy some outdoor adventures. Just a short drive from Birmingham are several fantastic spots for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing. Take some time to unwind and enjoy the beautiful water before it’s completely time to switch back to autumn activities. And if you’d prefer staying closer to home, don’t forget to check out the waterparks and splash pads before they close for the season. You definitely want to make the most of summer’s last splash!
If fishing is your jam, well then, you’re in for a treat! Summer is actually the best time for it. There are numerous fishing spots within two hours of Birmingham, and you can try your luck at popular locations like Oak Mountain State Park or Lay Lake. Grab your rod, pack some snacks, and maybe you’ll reel in a trophy catch before summer gives way to fall!
Let’s be honest — ice cream is great any time of year, but it just hits differently in the summer heat. Whether you’re a fan of thick chocolate or a simple vanilla cone, don’t pass up the chance to grab a sweet treat. We’ve had some fun tasting various ice cream spots right here in Birmingham, diving into all the options we have. Make it a fun outing with friends or family to discover your new favorite scoop!
Finally, who doesn’t love a good summer night filled with music? There are some exciting performances lined up across Birmingham in the coming weeks. Picture yourself dancing under the stars to live music while enjoying the last warm nights of summer. This is the ideal way to soak up those beautiful evenings!
