Announcing: What the Truck?! at Churchill Square

With leaves starting to turn, and the days getting shorter, fall is just around the corner. In Edmonton, this means that the food truck season will also be coming to an end soon. But before that happens, we want to celebrate what a great year for food trucks it has been in this city. So please join us for our last food truck extravaganza of the year!

What: What the Truck?!, Edmonton’s food truck extravaganza
When: Saturday, September 8, 2012
Where: Sir Winston Churchill Square
Time: 5-9pm

When we first approached the City about these festivals in spring 2011, they offered us Churchill Square. But we didn’t think there were enough trucks (or people) to fill the space at that time.

Recap: May 24, 2012 Truck Stop

Last night was probably our busiest Truck Stop yet! Hundreds of Edmontonians filled McIntyre Park in Old Strathcona to fill up on tasty creations from Molly’s Eats, Carnival Cravings, The Act, and Smokehouse BBQ.

Aside from being a bit cloudy, it was a relatively nice night weather-wise. Each week the weather has been better, so let’s hope next Thursday is sunny and warm!

We were also thrilled that the Fringe could join us for a second week in a row, with their “children” in tow. They were on hand so those interested could sign up as a Villager to keep on top of Fringe-related news.
