For those who wish to indulge in adult beverages, beer and wine will be available for purchase for guests aged 21 and older. However, outside alcohol, smoking, and vaping are prohibited at the event to maintain a family-friendly environment. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are allowed, but attendance with pets is not encouraged.
Organizers plan to keep the community informed by posting the weekly lineup of food trucks and entertainment on their Facebook page and website. Attendance is free, with guests only required to pay for food and drinks they choose to buy. This casual dining alternative has attracted many locals looking for a relaxed evening out.
Food Truck Fridays have seen steady growth in participation over the years, with increasing numbers of visitors taking advantage of the diverse food options and festive atmosphere.
