Staff reports | More than 25 food trucks with the best of mobile culinary delights will be at a major food truck round-up 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Navy Yard (1681 McMillan Ave.) in North Charleston. Admission is free.
The festival will offer fun for the whole family with everything from great food and tasty treats to thrilling activities for kids and adults, who will be able to partake in beverages to slake their thirst. Non-alcoholic refreshments will be available for kids.
The annual festival started in 2011 with five food trucks and about 500 guests. Since then, it’s grown to more than 10,000 people over two days. This year in addition to great food and drink, guests will be able to ride a Ferris wheel, bounce on a Bungee trampoline and navigate an obstacle course. Music will be provided Saturday by Weigh Station and Sunday by Gifted Soul.
MORE INFO
Cash encouraged. Festival organizers say lines move faster if you pay for your food and drink with cash. The festival is a “pay as you go” event in which each truck decides on its menu and costs. Most will take cards, but cash may be easier.
Dogs welcome. All well-behaved dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. As always, please clean up after your pooch. You can also bring camping chairs and a blanket as green space is abundant.
Free parking. Lots of parking is available adjacent to the event on Noisette Avenue, but feel free to utilize the popular rideshare apps (especially if you’re drinking). Or take your golf cart or ride some bikes!
Be prepared to wait (just a little). Lines occasionally may be long. Organizers say waiting in line is half the fun. Why? Because you make new friends, decide what you will order and get opinions from your neighbors about what else they have eaten today. Remember, the festival is an adventure.
Some no-nos. No coolers. No weapons. No bad attitudes. No unicycles. No snakes. No fighting words. No llamas.
