The Birmingham International Street Fair is led by the Birmingham Multicultural Association and the New Americans Chamber of Commerce Alabama. These non-profit organizations have no paid staff. All efforts are shaped by volunteers who serve on various committees. These committees help bring life to our programs and are the driving force behind the Street Fair. Want to lend your voice to the mix and have your ideas become a part of the plans? Email bhamintlstreetfair@gmail.com and tell us how you would like to be involved.
