The location is a change from last year, when the festival was held on Spring Garden Street.
“This year, due to the overwhelming support of the people in the city of Greensboro we are moving downtown to expand the area and the amount of trucks to accommodate more people,” says Shari Kumiega, Greensboro Food Truck Festival organizer.
The number of participants “has grown to 53 of North Carolina’s top food trucks along with 4 North Carolina craft breweries and 2 local wineries,” according to a news release.
One new addition this year will be the Cousins Maine Lobster truck, which was featured on the TV show “Shark Tank” in 2012. Local craft vendors and a kids’ zone will also be on hand.
Proceeds will be shared with two charities: Autism Unbound and the Food Recovery Network at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro.
VIP wristbands and more information can be found GreensboroFoodTruckFestivals.com. The wristbands allow early access at 3 p.m.
The Spring Garden Food Truck Festival began in 2012 with 15 trucks and four parking lots at Spring Garden and Chapman streets.
According to the release: “Over the years, street closures became a necessary part of the Festivals, to accommodate 41 food trucks, craft beer tents, craft vendors and kids’ activities.”
A Fall Greensboro Food Truck Festival is being planned for August 2016.
