Wanderlust About the festival
Wanderlust Thursday Night Food Truck Festival
One night a week, a chunk of downtown turns into dinner: your favorite trucks, a live DJ, a bounce castle, and plenty of seating for everyone.
It is free to come. We just advise showing up hungry and ready for hot food and serious dessert. No tickets, no wristbands, no cover. Walk up, pick a line, sit down.
The lineup changes every week, because the trucks are booked a Thursday at a time rather than for a season. That is the whole idea: you do not know exactly what you are getting, but you know it will be worth the walk.
Courthouse Square is flat, paved and open on all four sides, which makes it easy to get to on foot, by bike, by bus or off the SMART train, and easy to leave when the kids have had enough.
