I was watching the late afternoon local news last Friday as I usually do when one of their anchors was covering an event which was happening so close to where we live; just three-tenths of a mile away! I was delighted because I am always on the lookout for the latest happenings around town. I’d never heard of the event before so I told the hubs that we needed to go check it out since it was so close to us.
I didn’t know what to expect from the event, but I knew for certain that they’d have one of the things that I like – food trucks. I grabbed my phone so I could take some photos and excitedly went with the hubs and our son. I am always excited to check new things like this to share with our readers.
Food Truck Fridays is a block party that is free for all and happens every fourth Friday of every month from May to September at Reynold’s Village in north Asheville, North Carolina. I was surprised that it started in May yet I hadn’t heard about it.
You might think that the event is only about food trucks since it is what they call it. Nope! They also have a mobile boutique like this one. That was my first to have seen a mobile boutique and of course, I was wide-eyed. Every woman would be, I guess. 😉
There were also booths and stands selling different items like accessories, beauty products, and even pots, etc. And they had things for the kids as well.
Music was part of the event too. These guys played good bluegrass music – something that is new to me, but something that I truly enjoy listening to.
The little one as usual was hungry which didn’t surprise us although he had just had his dinner and asked for something from this food truck. I will share with you on Friday what he asked for. That’s the hubs right there ordering the food.
The event runs from 5:30 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. We didn’t stay the entire time, but we had fun checking the event out.
On checking, I found several cities in our state also have Food Truck Fridays, as well as cities in other states. Do you have it in your area?
That looks like so much fun! We don’t have anything like this where we live. I think it would be a good way to get to know people in your community too.
That looks so awesome! I love food trucks. They’ve come a long when since the days when eating from one pretty much guaranteed food poisoning. They’re restaurants on wheels now.
I’ve always loved food trucks. They actually have some fantastic food, no matter what some people might think.
I didn’t know this went on in Asheville. We generally don’t venture downtown on Fridays but I think I might have to this coming week! Maybe I’ll see you there!
Hi Jeannette,
This is at Reynolds Village in north Asheville, not in the downtown area. I hope you could check it out next month. 🙂
Oh I love food trucks, but I would also love to see boutique trucks too. What a great idea for a fun Friday evening.
I wish we had food trucks in my town. I would love to get to try different foods every Friday!
I have never eaten from a food truck, but I think it would be cool They have such creative food to offer.
I want Food Truck Friday by me! This looks like such a fun event with a lot of great food trucks!!
This sounds like an event i would gladly go to. It looks and sounds like a bunch of fun.
I have always wanted to go to a food truck show! My town attempted to have one but it got rained out and it didn’t turn out well. This looks like a lot of fun!
How fun! Concord, NC has Food Truck Fridays, too. I haven’t been yet, but my daughter was telling me how good the food was.
I love going to these! I always come back stuffed carrying stuff for my closet, hah. It’s such a fun atmosphere though.
I’d definitely have to check out Food Truck Friday if it was in my hometown. It’s pretty cool that they even have a mobile boutique!
I love me some food truck food, isn’t it just the best?? I need to hit up food truck friday in my area!!
I love food trucks and am always curious where they are and what they serve! I love the diversity and also being exposed to foods that I probably would not be making at home! it is always a good excuse to meet at a food truck with friends!
I hope there would be more mobile boutiques that would go to provinces because it is in these areas where malls and stores are scarce. Most people are used to just online shopping to get their merchandise.
I absolutely love the concept of a food truck! They are just starting to become popular where I live…I can’t wait to visit all of them at the next expo!
It must be nice to have that in your community. We don’t have it here kaya boring hehehe.
My husband has always wanted to go to the food truck park. It would be fun to try all the great food.
I love Food Trucks! I am actually obsessed with them we have several Food truck days in my area and even a Food Truck Park!
I love food trucks and how I wish we would have them on a weekly basis. A food truck park sounds like a greta idea.
I cannot wait to try a food truck. I know we have a bunch here where I live but I’ve never seen any. It’s my mission this summer to find some and try. I bet they are just awesome.
Oooo I just love food trucks!!! I live in a smallish area so they aren’t that popular in these parts :-/
This looks like an amazing event. I wish we had something like this here.
I just love events like these. They are so much fun and you get to discover new food places.
How fun is this? I would love if my town would do something like this!
I love food trucks! We only have taco truck around here.. not even an ice cream man. I wish we had more.
I love trying new food at local food trucks here. Sometimes one can find some amazing foods at a food truck!
That is awesome! We have something similar to that here, too. A bunch of food trucks gather in one block and so many people show up and have a good. Looks great!
Things like this are almost enough to make me wish I lived in a city. The food truck craze is really great IMO, I love a variety of foods.
i obsessed with Food Trucks but they’re pretty pricey here in San Diego.. They sell gourmet foods, so cost us about $10 each or more . Taste good, very unique but wish they could sell cheaper foods 🙂
this looks like a lot of fun, great community spirit. I wish we had something like this in the uk
