Twenty-six new food trucks will be joining Civic Center EATS when it returns May 1 for its 13th season.
“This year, we’ll have an edible cookie dough truck,” said Eric Lazzari, director of operations for the event.
A rotating selection of 25 gourmet food vendors offer their wares in downtown’s Civic Center park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through Oct. 4 (with some holiday closures). The 82 participating food trucks include Asian, Indian, Latin American, Mediterranean, barbecue, salads, vegan and more.
“We have some mainstays that will be there all season and we have some that will rotate out mid-summer and we’ll bring in new trucks so there’s something new to check out,” Lazzari said.
Guests can also enjoy live music while eating their lunch, either on shaded tables or on the lawn.
A portion of the proceeds benefit the Civic Center Conservancy, dedicated to park revitalization and preservation of historic structures.
“Because of the funding from Civic Center EATS, we can offer four days of free fitness classes in the park almost year-round. In fact, on Tuesdays and Thursdays there are classes at Civic Center EATS,” Lazzari said. “We like to call those times ‘calorie neutral.’ “
A full schedule of music and dining offerings can be found at www.civiccenterconservancy.org.
