We are so excited that the 1st Food Truck All Stars is tomorrow night! We know this year's rally may look a little different than in the past, so we want to share our top three tips for having the best time at the event!
Tip #1: Bring Back the Progressive Dinner!
You remember progressive dinners, right? As a refresher, progressive dinners are when you travel to different restaurants for each part of your meal, so you could have appetizers at one place, entrees at another, and finally move to a different place for dessert! Our Socially Distant Food Truck All Stars is the PERFECT opportunity for a progressive dinner! Maybe you can stop for some Truffle Parmesan Fries at I Love Bacon, move to Beast Mode for a Cuban Burger, and then grab a cold treat from Suzy's Pops. The possibilities are endless!
Tip #2: Enjoy Your Favorite Purple Cup Drink While You Explore the Food Trucks!
It's not a coincidence that all of our food trucks are located within a Downtown Huntsville Entertainment District! That means you can grab your favorite beer, wine, or cocktail in a purple cup (adults only, of course!) and take it with you to your next food truck destination! There are plenty of places throughout the event that sell drinks in purple cups. Check out a few below!
Tip #3: Explore Downtown Huntsville Between Courses!
While you are waiting for your appetizers to settle before getting your entrees, use that time to take advantage of the many activities that Downtown Huntsville has to offer! We have included some of our favorite things to do when we have free time below.
Explore the Downtown Huntsville Secret Art Trail and see how many hidden pieces of art you can spot before you finish dessert.
Experience live, local music through the entire event with Arts Huntsville's Summer Street Jams! They will host performances in three different locations throughout Food Truck All Stars.
Dinner and a shopping spree? Yes, please! Downtown Huntsville is home to some of the best shopping in the area, so we recommend browsing the selections of our local shops on your way to your next course.
Enjoy Big Spring Park! See if you can spot any of the ducklings that were born this spring or bring a frisbee to toss under a shade tree. Once the sun goes down, you can enjoy the nightly light show at the grotto in Big Spring Park East.
Tip #4: Remember to Stay Safe and Socially Distanced!
Although we are trying to get back to a sense of normalcy, we do need to remember that we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Please wear a face covering at all times while standing in line or near any group that isn't in your immediate household. You will see the food truck employees wearing them also! Stay at least 6 feet apart, even while standing in line or waiting for your food. After you get your food, move away from the trucks to avoid congestion. There are plenty of great places to eat around Downtown Huntsville! Most importantly, be respectful to our trucks and those around you. Be kind and patient, and you will have a great experience!
RSVP to the Facebook Event Page and make plans to attend the first Food Truck All-Star rallies on June 5th and 19th from 5:00-9:00 pm! The event is free and open to the public, so we can't wait to see you there!
