Roll'n Out Food Truck Fest - organized by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. and partners - is set to be the largest ever food truck rally in Grand Rapids. The event happens Sunday, May 21, 2017 at Heartside Park in Downtown Grand Rapids.
The Roll'n Out Food Truck Fest celebrates the City's new pilot food truck ordinance and kicks off the summer street food season by showcasing more than 20 local food trucks and chefs along Ionia Street south of Cherry Street. The event also features an interactive Artisan Village at the Downtown Market and culinary themed movies in Heartside Park.
From 11:00 am to 7:00 pm Roll'n Out features a vast spread of FREE activities including:
- 20+ oh-so-colorful local food trucks featuring diverse and incredibly yummy food offerings to please any palate; think complete meals to fill you up and $3 tasting options to tickle your senses
- Culinary themed movies on a ginormous LED screen for incredible viewing wherever you park your fanny
- Pop-Up Performers to keep you entertained between movies and give you something to watch while you continue to explore additional food choices
- Food Truck Walk, just like the cake walk at your local carnival but better because it will lead winners back to the food trucks, for more food.
- Artisan Village at the Downtown Market so when you absolutely cannot hold one more bite of food you can participate in some interactive art and maybe make a purchase or two or three to support local artists
- Games - think giant Jenga, Twister and board games galore - all set up and ready to go for play time (after you've used a compostable napkin to remove all the food remnants that you've accumulated on your hands, of course)
Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. organizes Roll'n Out Food Truck Fest in partnership with a multitude of community partners, local artists and sponsors, including Local First of West Michigan, Grand Rapids Food Truck Association, Community Media Center, the Downtown Market and the City of Grand Rapids.
#RollNOutGR is the official social media hash tag for the event.
