Embrace the Family Fun of Erie's First Downtown Food Truck Festival

Bourbon Barrel's First Downtown Food Truck Festival will feature more than local food trucks and bands.

Saturday, June 23

Hot on the heels of the popular Erie Food Truck Festival last month, Bourbon Barrel is proud to present Erie's first Downtown Food Truck Festival. Taking place in the upper Downtown Entertainment District between 12th and 14th & State, the festival has been organized to be a family event, featuring not only local food trucks, bands, businesses, and charities, but also a rock wall, air jumper, mechanical bull, dunk tank, obstacle course, and much more. Proceeds from the festival will benefit Erie's own Voices for Independence and the Police Athletic League.

But of course, the main event on everyone's minds will be dinner, and the festival's diverse lineup of food trucks is likely to have something for everyone. From The Cluck Truck to The Big Cheese, Sticks & Bricks Wood Fired Pizza to Fatboy Philly's (and even sweet treats from Kona Ice and Tasty Twist in between), the palates of the public will be covered in full. And that's just a sample of the trucks comprising the festival's 14-truck lineup. There's only one way to truly experience everything planned at the inaugural Downtown Food Truck Festival, and that's with your taste buds. — Aaron Mook

3 p.m. to 11 p.m. // 1213 State St.
