A FEW FINAL TIDBITS FOR WHAT THE TRUCK?! AT RE/MAX FIELD.

Transportation & Parking: There is parking available in the lots just North of the facility. Re/Max Field is also located along the #9 bus route, so stop by on your way downtown from the Fringe Festival!
Public Washrooms & ATM: Public Washrooms are available and accessible. Please note that there is no ATM on site, so it’s best to prepare with cash ahead of time!
What the Fork?!: We’ve heard your feedback and requests to help our events be more environmentally friendly, so one of our volunteers has organized a cutlery rental booth! Re-usable forks, knives and spoons are available for rent for a $5 deposit (which will be returned to you when you return your cutlery) to help reduce the amount of cutlery that is thrown out over the course of the event.
Waste: Help our volunteers keep the site clean by putting your trash and recyclables in the appropriate bins!
Entertainment: The resident DJ for our events is ElectroKinetica (Ohmera Entertainment), and he will be providing us with great music throughout the day.
Lost/Found People & Property: If you find any lost people or property, please return it to the What the Truck?! Info tent (marked with our logo on the sitemap). Likewise, if you have lost something, please come visit us at the Info tent!
Seating: There is plenty of seating in the outfield – we would recommend that you bring a picnic blanket along with you to sit on. Please note that you are not permitted to stake anything into the outfield.
Be weather wise: Last but not least, please dress appropriately for the weather. Shades, hats, and SPF recommended! We’re ready to feed you, rain or shine!
No Pets, Balls or Bats: Unfortunately, pets, bats and balls will not be allowed at this event.

Recap: What the Truck?! in Old Strathcona

The weather was touch and go for a while there, but when all was said and done, our first What the Truck?! of the season was blessed with sunny skies and not a drop of rain!

Given it rained in the hours leading up to the event, we weren’t sure what that would mean for crowds. But we should have had faith in the city’s food truck fans, who still turned out in droves to sample dishes from twelve different trucks.

From vegan BLTs to mapo tofu and ahi tuna tortilla rolls, the vendors offered an incredible variety. Most of them sold out, thanks to the hungry festivalgoers!

Although we strive to make all of our events family-friendly, this one seemed to attract even more young attendees. It was wonderful seeing children dancing, playing with one another, and having free run of McIntyre Park throughout the evening.

The Edmonton Public Library was on-site distributing free library memberships. They gave out a record 107 cards in four hours!

The atmosphere no doubt wouldn’t have been the same without the great tunes by DJs Thomas Scott (Urban Monks), Rob Clarke and Polyesterday. Thanks for sponsoring our event!

DJs Thomas Scott, Rob Clarke and Polyesterday

A huge thank you to our partner the Old Strathcona Business Association. Without them, the event could not have happened. This neighbourhood is already a destination for dining, shopping, arts and nightlife, so their support means even more.

We would also like to acknowledge the Strathcona Community League, who also stepped up as a sponsor.

Lastly, thank you to Donna, Francina, Jessica and Susan – the volunteers who helped make this a stress-free event for us! Many hands make light work, and this was not more true that night – you helped make the lines congruent, site spotless, and were game for anything we asked of you.

We are in the process of planning several more events for this summer, so we’d like to take this opportunity to ask you for some feedback. We would appreciate it if you could fill out this survey about your experience.
