San Leandro Launches Food Truck Event 'Truth Thursdays'

From San Leandro Improvement Association: Kicking off on Thursday, May 25, the San Leandro Improvement Association, in partnership with Westlake Urban and OSI Software, will launch a monthly food truck event, “Truth Thursdays,” with Off The Grid Markets from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. “Truth Thursdays” will occur every fourth Thursday of the month and surround the 55-foot tall Truth is Beauty statue at the San Leandro Tech Campus in Downtown San Leandro. “Truth Thursdays” will feature three food trucks, beer from San Leandro’s own 21stAmendment, Cleophus Quealy, and Drake’s Brewing, wine, recreational games and live entertainment.

“We wanted to create an event to connect our community together and provide them with a safe and fun place to go to after work and spend time with their co-workers, friends and family,” said Gordon Galvan, San Leandro Improvement Association’s president. “‘Truth Thursdays’ will be the first time the plaza where Truth is Beauty stands will be regularly activated with an event that welcomes the public. We invite all of San Leandro, BART commuters, Bay Area residents, and visitors to come and unwind after a long day with some good food, drink and music under Truth is Beauty.”

“Truth Thursdays” will have rotating food trucks and live music each event, so attendees can be sure to always experience something different every month. Recreational games like corn hole and bocce ball will be out on the grass in front of Truth is Beauty. Attendees will be able to hang out around Truth is Beauty the whole evening, enjoying the live music, each other, and the food and drinks.
