The first week of consistently warm weather has broken in Chicago and we’re already thinking ahead for summer outdoor festivals and fun.
For that weekend when fast food, drive-thrus, and BBQs get tired, stop by the Chicago Food Truck Festival.
The festival will run on June 25 and 26 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the newly developed South Loop Green Space off of State Street.
As their Facebook event suggests, “Family, Food, and Fun” is the focus of this year’s festival.
40-50 food trucks will be featured, ranging from both regular and taste-size portions of a variety of food. We’re so excited about the festival, we’ve even categorized the current list of food trucks for you:
