Cahaba River Fry-Down

Each year the Cahaba River Society hosts an event that’s not only good for the planet, but also the palate! This event has become another staple in Birmingham’s dynamic food scene as culinary masters, old and new, battle it out for the top catfish cooking prizes.

 This fundraiser supports Cahaba River Society’s work to protect and restore the Cahaba River (Alabama’s longest remaining free flowing river and the drinking water source for the Greater Birmingham area), the Cahaba watershed, and its rich diversity of life.

This event features fun for all ages with a carnival-like atmosphere, live music, amazing food, a climbing wall, hula-hoopers, a children’s parade, face-painters, educational games, petting zoos, a beer garden and more! Come bring your family, bring your friends, and celebrate with us as we raise awareness on the importance of the Cahaba River, as well as party in celebration of all that river provides for this community, state & country!
