Food Truck Festival is back with a delicious bang, and this year, it’s serving up more than just mouthwatering bites—it’s a feast for the heart!

A Feast for Charity

What better way to fuel your soul than by indulging in delectable food while making a meaningful impact in the community?
Food Truck Paradise Awaits
Imagine this: a culinary carnival where the scent of grilled goodness wafts through the air. This year’s lineup features an array of food trucks that will tickle your taste buds:
- Pierogi Rig: Dive into traditional Polish pierogis stuffed with savory delights, from creamy potato cheese to tangy sauerkraut.
- Cousins Maine Lobster: Savor the taste of the coast with their succulent lobster rolls, brimming with fresh, buttery lobster that will transport you straight to a seaside eatery.
- Brothers BBQ: Get ready for smoky, tender ribs and BBQ favorites that promise to satisfy any carnivore’s cravings, expertly grilled to perfection.
Jump between trucks, sample bites, and don’t forget to save room for seconds!
Fun for the Whole Family
Beyond the food, the festival is packed with exciting activities. From live music that invites you to sway along with the rhythms to face painting and balloon art that keeps the kiddos entertained, there’s joy around every corner. Kids can explore inflatables, experience the thrill of sliding down a fire pole, or even take a turn in the dunk tank—the perfect way to cool off!
Local Love
The festival wouldn’t be possible without the support from local businesses like BeeZee Dumpsters, CDE Collisions, and Woodman’s Markets. Their commitment to the community shines as bright as the summer sun.
