FOOD TRUCK VENDORS
515 PI pizza is irrationally delicious, fired fast to order with hand-pressed dough topped with fresh ingredients and a whole lot of cheesy goodness.
THE BIG RED FOOD TRUCK is known for its award-winning food, including fish tacos, jumbo walking taco boats, and fried beef tacos. The mozzarella sticks, corn dogs, loaded tater tots, truffle tots, and the freshly squeezed lemonade are must tries, too.
IRENE’S WINGS AND THINGS knows wings, and you’ll taste it in the signature sauces, including honey BBQ, spicy extreme, and garlic parmesan. Add a side of jalapeño poppers or onion rings. Or try a bacon cheeseburger or ribeye steak sandwich.
KONA ICE cools things down with its sweet flavored Hawaiian-style shaved ice.
THE MACHINE SHED FOOD TRUCK just like The Machine Shed restaurant, is dedicated to the American Farmer. From farm to table to the road, everything is fresh grown and homemade.
THE OUTSIDE SCOOP scoops up handmade artisan-style, made-from-scratch ice cream. Indulge further with a homemade waffle cone, specialty sundae, float, or shake.
ROADSIDE TACOS raises street tacos to a whole new level. The 2017 Des Moines Food Truck Throw Down Champion is an American take on Mexican, the quick-serve menu includes tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos.
TAZA MEDITERRANEAN GRILL won judges’ choice at the 2018 Des Moines Food Truck Throw Down, so you know its authentic Middle Eastern food is not to miss, especially the steak shawarma.
PARKING is available in the Prairie Ridge Church parking lot, with a designated section for handicap parking. Overflow parking will be available at Heartland Church across 36th Street (1212 NW 36th Street). If parking capacity is exceeded at Heartland, additional overflow parking will be available at Lutheran Church of Hope (520 NW 36th Street). Biking, walking, and carpooling are all encouraged.
SEATING will NOT be provided in the event area. Feel free to bring camp chairs or picnic blankets.
RAIN will not stop the fun. We will just move games and activities inside to The Square—our indoor gym—and pull the food trucks up under the awnings of the building.
WHAT TO BRING
Cash or cards to purchase food
Camp chairs or picnic blankets
Outside snacks … lines will likely be long and we want little ones to be happy
Water bottles … it will probably be a hot one!
Umbrellas and rain jackets … though we hope you won’t need them!
