Save the Date: What the Truck?! on July 10, 2015

We’re thrilled to announce our next event – What the Truck?! is coming to Northlands! Here are the details:

What: What the Truck?! 
Where: Northlands Park (7410 Borden Park Road NW, Edmonton, AB)
When: Friday, July 10, 2015
Time: 5-10pm
RSVP on Facebook!

This event will also be a first in What the Truck?! history. Northlands Park is a family-friendly licensed venue (similar to local restaurants), so you will be able to enjoy an adult beverage with your food truck eats!

If you’re still hoping to bring your little ones, the event grounds are all-ages, but if you wish to keep them separated from the rest, don’t worry – there will also be designated alcohol-free space.

Stay tuned for more information about participating trucks, menus, and site map information!

Will You Win the Coveted Golden Ticket?

Whenever we host a What the Truck?! event the number one concern is always lines. But what if there was a way for you to skip the lines and enjoy your favourite food truck food unencumbered by lineups? A way for you to place your order right away, and eat before anyone else?

Enter the What the Truck?! Golden Ticket.

The Golden Ticket will be awarded to two lucky winners at the end of this season, for use at the last event of 2015 in Churchill Square. Each winner can bring a friend and enjoy a 20 minute head start on the event by being able to order from their favourite food trucks and skip the lines.
