Food trucks will be present in front of Birmingham City Hall on Tuesday, April 29 when the John Lennon Tour Bus rolls up for the public to visit.

The bus will be parked on Short 20th and open for free tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This bus tours across America, showcasing its one-of-a-kind mobile recording studio created by Yoko Ono in memory of her late husband and Beatles legend, John Lennon.
