Spring Food Truck Frenzy! April 24-25

Did you know: for just $5 (or $0 for those under 12), you have access to an event featuring 20 GOURMET FOOD TRUCKS!

From 11am-7pm on both Friday (April 24) and Saturday (April 25) of this week, YYCFoodTrucks is putting on a spring food truck frenzy that you’d regret not going to.

As with most of the big food truck events, this one takes place in East Village at RiverWalk Plaza.

CCmB2i5W8AA1UCyLet me summarize this for you: for lunch, dinner, or any time you please between 11 and 7, you can have what will most likely be the best food you’ve had all week. There’s options for everyone! Maybe a smoked meat hash from Red Wagon Diner. Or nacho perogies from Perogy Boyz. There’s even an entirely vegetarian food truck, Yummi Yogis! And of course, no food truck event is complete without some of Fiasco Gelato‘s latest (and, let’s be honest, addictive) gelato concoction.

The list of the trucks (credit to the event page on Facebook) is…

Hmmm... So I'm supposed to summarize myself in a couple sentences? What do they think I am?!?!?! Normal?!?!?! I'm Julia, and I like doing all I can to be unique and not to be a grain of sand on a mile long beach. You'll notice quickly that I'm quite an advocate for mental health and positivity. So yeah. Hope you enjoy my posts :)
