Food trucks are taking over our city! It is hard to resist the fun and flavors of casual, outdoor dining at a food truck (or several trucks. Why pick just one?) We love the food truck experience with kids because they offer a meal out with the relaxed atmosphere of a picnic. In many cases, multiple food trucks will be at the same event, giving the whole family a chance to eat what they want – whether that be a simple hot dog or a new cultural experience.
Upcoming Twin Cities food truck festivals & events
Satisfy the appetites and tastes of a whole family at these pop-up food truck parks. Even picky eaters can find something they like. Plus these family events often include kids activities, live music and other reasons make it a family night out.
