Grab lunch or dinner at Knightdale Station Park on the third-Thursday of each month and get a bit of fresh air, even network with others stopping for a bite to eat. Food Truck Thursday events begin April 18 and continue through October 2019.
The variety of food trucks augments local restaurant offerings, with a rotating selection of cuisines. Lunchtimes feature one food truck; dinnertimes feature two or three food trucks, a dessert truck, plus local bands to entertain while you enjoy your dinner or a sweet treat. This year, live music will be playing during each dinnertime Food Truck Thursday.
Food trucks will be parked near the Knightdale Station Park pavilion, 810 N First Avenue, Knightdale, North Carolina. Sit and eat, or pick up food to take back to your desk or home.
