Skip cooking lunch this weekend and join our community for Picnic in the Park! Our Recreation Department is having another Picnic in the Park Food Truck Festival with more than a dozen vendors on Saturday, April 12. It’s happening from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., rain or shine, in Carolyn Crayton Park (150 Willie Smokie Glover Drive). This will be the first food truck festival of the 2025 season. The event is free and open to the public, but the food must be purchased.
“We are so excited to have this event back,” says Recreation Director Robert Walker. “This is a great way to support local businesses while enjoying our park and giving families a fun event where they can spend time together.”
There are nine food trucks and vendors with a variety of different foods, a wine truck from Jail Creek Farms Winery, and frozen treats from Macon Water Ice and C&C Ice Cream Truck. People can enjoy live music T-Luv (Todd Davis), and a kids’ zone with inflatable bounce houses.
Food trucks and vendors include A&K Concessions, Streetz Eatz, BurgerIM, Brown’s BBQ and Catering, Macon Water Ice, Sylvia’s Soul Food Express, Peewee bakery sweets, Guitarras Mexican Grill, and C&C Ice Cream Truck.
You’re invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets to sprawl out and enjoy the day.
