SUNSETS AT VULCAN: BLOCK PARTY

Vulcan Park & Museum (VPM) is celebrating 120 years since the statue of Vulcan’s creation and the reopening of the observation tower which has been closed since June 2023 for restoration. Kicking off the celebration is the first of a new series of events Sunsets at Vulcan, the Block Party. The series will also include everything from fitness classes, painting classes, beverage tastings and more! “We felt that since we have the best view of The Magic City, we wanted to really captivate the essence of the beauty that we have here on our park grounds. Part of our mission is to encourage exploration of the Birmingham Region, so we felt that this is a great way to expound on that and expose all the great things that our region has to offer to the community in a fun way.” VPM Director of Marketing & Public Relations, Amanda Hare stated. “With the block party, we know the community has missed going up to the top of the tower and taking in our beautiful city, so we wanted to celebrate in a big way.” Guests will be able to access the stairs inside the observation tower. Free popcorn will be available for ticket holders. Food vendors will be available onsite for additional purchases. Beer and wine will be available for purchase for those 21 and up. There will be a 10% discount applied to all purchases made inside The Anvil, during the event. VPM gift shop, The Anvil will have extended hours with a 10% discount applied to all purchases made during the event. The first 50 guests to climb the stairs to the top of the tower will receive a prize. Tickets are required and can be purchased onsite at the ticket booth. No advanced tickets will be sold.
