Seasons 52 is celebrating all things rosé with the return of Rosé All Day, All Summer, a curated menu that celebrates the favorite summertime wine, complete with rosé cocktails.

Now through Sept. 14, guests are invited to come in and sip popular labels by-the-glass, such as Vanderpump Rosé and Jansz Brut Rosé, as well as the signature Rosé Lemonade and Rosé Sangria. Guests can also purchase rosé by the bottle to go, where permissible. Pair with Season 52’s new summer menu, highlighting peak season ingredients in dishes like the new street-style Wood-Grilled Corn Wheels and Roasted Corn & Bacon Flatbread, to make the most of the warm weather.

About this Event

In this Community Conversation, we will discuss how entrepreneurship and our workspaces have evolved.

About Kim:

Kim Lee is the Founder and CEO of Forge, a coworking space in the heart of Downtown Birmingham. Her passion for business as a service, hospitality, community and economic growth of the city drove her to open Forge in September 2017, as a place to provide an avenue for entrepreneurs and small business owners to thrive through growing their businesses in a way that was previously unavailable in Birmingham. Forge has developed another layer in the ecosystem for business owners and entrepreneurs providing a platform for growth and advancement of these smaller businesses in a way that was not present. Kim is also involved in mentoring entrepreneurs through several different organizations in Birmingham. Kim was honored in 2017 as Birmingham Business Journal Women to Watch and as 2019 finalist for CEO of the year. In 2018 Forge was Small Business of the Year Finalist. Kim was most recently recognized in the list of 2020 Top 40 Under 40.

ALABAMA is the band that changed everything. They reeled off 21 straight #1 singles, a record that will probably never be equaled in any genre. They brought youthful energy, sex appeal and a rocking edge that broadened country's audience and opened the door to self-contained bands from then on, and they undertook a journey that led, 73 million albums later, to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Alabama Theatre has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Summer Film Series presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka. We hope that we will be able to reopen and host events very soon, but at this time we can not provide our devoted patrons with the excellent series they have come to expect while following current health and safety guidelines. Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded to the payment method used for purchase. Please allow up to 30 days for your refund to process.

The cancellation of the 2020 Summer Film Series raises the total to 75 events cancelled or postponed at the Alabama and Lyric Theatres. If you would like to make a donation to support the historic Alabama Theatre through this closure, please visit www.alabamatheatre.com/cash-donation.

Helena Market Days occur every Saturday from the first weekend in June through the last weekend in August. Our market will be a walk through and curbside.

In an attempt to best serve our patrons and protect them from the spread of COVID-19. Here are some changes we have made.

Masks are encouraged and recommend but not required. However please try to maintain social distancing.

There will be a hand sanitizer station at the front of the market for everyone to use at the merchandise tent.

Farmers/Vendors will be spaced a minimum of 6 feet from each other.

For curbside pickup. We will post on our page who and what will be offered for curbside. You will then order and pay with your favorite farmers and/or vendors. When you come Saturday we will have designated parking for curbside. We will come to your car, ask your name and deliver your order to your car. We will do this all season and every year now and we ask that you be patient as we kick off this new and exciting add to the market. Please watch out FB page for more to come.

Due to current State restrictions on the distribution of food samples by farmers/vendors and giveaways by farmers markets, HMD will forego its weekly themed days (e.g. Blackberry and Blueberry Festival, Peaches and Ice Cream Day, Tomato Sandwich Day, etc), but has BIG plans for more and better Theme Days for the 2021 season!!

We thank you for coming to Helena Market Days.

We’ll walk through the woods to one waterfall, stop and swim there and get underneath the waterfall if you wish.  Then we’ll wade for about a mile IN the creek to a second, larger waterfall where we’ll swim and stand under the waterfall again if you like.  Then we’ll walk from that second waterfall through the woods back to the cars.

If you think that you may want to come home before the group outing is completed, please don’t come on this outing.  In order to prevent traffic congestion at the usual public trail head our vehicles will be parked at a remote location during the entire outing.  Outing participants will probably not be able to walk unguided to their cars before the outing is completed. The walk portion is completely off trail.

Wear old shorts or a swim suit and sturdy footwear you don’t mind getting wet and dirty.  Old sneakers work well.  Bare feet, flip-flops, loose slip-ons and thin-soled “beach shoes” are not acceptable!  Also bring a towel along with your picnic lunch and water.

After the outing we are planning to go to a restaurant for an optional dinner.  If you would like to have dinner with us at the restaurant, please bring a towel and change of clothes for dinner.

Well-behaved, properly-supervised children age 7 and over welcome.  Note-To view photos of what we will see on this trip, please click on this link:

Unity Market is honored to be partnering with so many local food and farm businesses that all have one thing in common - a passion for sustainable food systems. Unity of Birmingham is a wonderfully inclusive and vibrant spiritual community, and Unity Market's vision aligns with their values of acceptance, diversity, compassion, and sustainability. We believe in taking individual and collective responsibility to make a positive difference through active service. We're excited for this opportunity to connect our community with local food and farm businesses! When we shop local, support farmers, and are engaged in our communities, we create a happier, healthier, and more resilient society - lettuce be a part of the movement that is bringing food back down to the community scale!

The format will resemble a traditional style open air, walk-up market where each vendor handles the sale of their products. We are keeping safety at the forefront of our minds, and we ask that you do too. All market staff and volunteers, vendors, and shoppers will be asked to wear a face mask in accordance with the city-wide ordinance, and practice distancing of at least 6 feet between households. We will provide a hand sanitizing station. If you are exhibiting any adverse health symptoms, we ask that you stay at home in order to protect our communities from illness. We have parking onsite, but we encourage you to walk if possible.

You can follow Unity Market on Facebook or Instagram (@unitymarketbham) to stay up to date with market news.

Can't wait to see you soon!
