City and Valdosta Main Street host Food Truck Thursdays

On Thursday, June 20 the City of Valdosta and Valdosta Main Street will host the first-ever Food Truck Thursday event. This family fun event will take place on the third Thursday of every month from June through October 2019.

A number of different food trucks will be set up for the first event, including Big Nicks, Red Owl Coffee Co, Under Construction BBQ, Sazon Mobile Kitchen, Dad’s Good to Go, Hibachi Hwy, Kona Ice, TNT Hot Dogs, The Mix, Evy’s Lunch, and Southern Cravin’s. The food truck options will vary from month to month.

In addition to the food trucks, patrons can enjoy a free live concert by The Good Time Junior Music Shed, a Downtown Valdosta business. The Valdosta-Lowndes County Parks & Recreation has provided tables and chairs for citizens to use, as well as a stage for the free concert.

“We’re really excited about this new community event. We hope that it is successful for all of the food truck business owners and will grow every month. Our main focus for this event and every event we do is to bring more attention and people into Downtown Valdosta. We have tons of wonderful shops & restaurants right here in downtown all year long that need community support and events like this put them on people’s radars.   ” said Rachel Thrasher, Main Street Coordinator.

The event will be taking place from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the corner of Central Avenue and Lee Street, Downtown across from City Hall. Parking spaces will be available directly across from the field at the McKey Street lot, the corner of Hill Avenue and Ashley Street, Toombs Street, the City Hall annex plus tons of on-street parking throughout downtown!

We invite the community to bring their lawn chairs and picnic blankets and enjoy this new event in Downtown Valdosta!
