Food Trucks Roll Into Wilton

WILTON, CT -- Southwest Connecticut loves its food trucks, so maybe it should come as a surprise Wilton is only just hosting its first-ever food truck festival this weekend.

The moveable feasts converge on Sunday, August 12, as part of a fundraiser for Trackside Teen Center. Allen's Meadow on Route 7 will be the mobile nosh nexus, and the chowing down will commence at 11 a.m. and continue through 6 p.m.

Offering much more than merely food (although that alone would have been just dandy), Trackside's first foray into gears and gourmands will also include a water slide, a climbing wall, arts and crafts sale, and live music from Captain Obvious, The Defibrillators, Joni & The Keepers, and Swing 42, among others.

A partial list of food trucks includes:

• Kona Ice (Stamford)
• Bumskis Mobile Beer & Wine Bar (West Hartford)
• Greek Style Grill (Danbury)
• The Local Meatball (Fairfield)
• Rice and Beans (Danbury)
• SWAT (Stratford)
• Pierogis on Wheels (Milford)
• Hapa Food Truck (Stamford)
• Bubble and Brew (Wilton)
• Szabo Seafood (Shelton)
• Melt Mobile (Stamford)
• Mamoun’s Falafel Cart (New Haven)
• Taste of Grill (Stamford)
• Taco Tequila (Newington)
• Carmela’s Italian Kitchen (Norwalk)
• DrewbaQ (Trumbull)
• Fork in the Road (Danbury)

Admission is $10 per car and $5 for walk-ins, with proceeds going to support Trackside.
