Check out all of the information we have available for you about this fantastic downtown event!

National Food Truck Day is a time to celebrate local food truck owners and their venture into the world of mobile food kitchens and tasty treats. The National Food Truck Day celebration features food trucks, live music, yard games, free axe-throwing, and delicious food from local food trucks.

National Food Truck Day takes place on June 30. The special event will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.

The Yard Food Truck Plaza is located at 212 S. Main St. The Yard is located past Treno Pizzeria and Mo's Rail Yard Saloon. Located nearby to the Santa Fe Depot and Kid's Stop playground, the food truck plaza is just a short walk from major attractions and restaurants like Treno Pizzeria & Taproom and Lenna Lane. 

Event attendees can park on street-side parking or in public parking lots throughout the downtown district. There will be plenty of parking for everyone to spend time in downtown Temple and enjoy The Yard Food Truck Plaza. 

National Food Truck Day will be full of fun activities, live music, and great food.

Planning to stay for the duration of the event? Make sure to pack a few essentials with you before you go. While The Yard does have several picnic tables and seating options, it's an excellent idea to bring a lawn chair or two just in case the tables fill up. Plus, lawn chairs will give you plenty of room to find the best spot for viewing the performance from the band. Don't want to carry around a lawn chair? Opt for a light picnic blanket that your and your group can lounge on. With the Summer weather in full swing, you can expect temperatures to be hot. Make sure to pack lots of water to stay hydrated as you enjoy some fun in the sun and outdoor activities.
