While you may get more than one serving of food from food trucks, we do ask that you be mindful that there are limited servings available to attendees as a whole. Gluten and Dairy-free options will be available, and menus for each truck will be posted and visible outside of the event. 

What if I have a food allergy?

If you have a food allergy, please look for signage from food trucks that outline common allergens present in their foods. It is also important to inform the food truck staff if you have an allergen so they can best accommodate your needs.

Unfortunately, no outside food or beverages, including reusable water bottles, will be allowed at this event.
