Tips for Attending
To make your event experience a positive one, we suggest:
- Food truck events of this scale typically draw thousands of people and lines should be expected.
- Come with a group and split up to get into food truck lines, then meet up to share your food selections. You’ll be able to try more food without standing in line as often.
- Food truck lines may look long, but truck staff is well-versed in serving large numbers of people, fairly quickly. Just because a food truck line looks long, doesn’t mean you will wait long.
- Review posted menus so you know what you want to purchase before you get to the food truck window. Those in line behind you will appreciate it.
- Come with cash. All food trucks take cash, most take credit cards too.
- Bring lawn chairs, picnic blankets or small folding tables to create your own picnic area.
- Share picnic tables – we increased the number of picnic tables to 75, scattered around the music and food areas. Please clean items off your table when finished. Garbage and recycling containers will be plentiful.
