It’s the seventh year that Anoka has hosted its Food Truck Festival, and this year the weather is looking FANTASTIC for anyone looking to enjoy the amazing food and drinks that will be offered this year. In addition to the 50+ food trucks expected, there will also be live music for people to enjoy. Here’s what we know so far about the festival this weekend:

According to the MN Food Truck Festival website: One of the Twin Cities’ most popular and delicious free events – the Anoka Food Truck Festival – takes over downtown Anoka for the seventh year on Saturday, August 17.

It runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and takes place in downtown Anoka. According to the website, you’ll find all the action “on Jackson Street and 2nd Ave.” However, if you’re driving to Anoka from Central Minnesota, you’ll want to use this address for your GPS: 2015 S 1st Ave, Anoka, MN 55303.

The MN Food Truck Festival website lists all 50 trucks expected to be at the festival, but these are the ones I’m most excited about:

Betty’s Shrimp Bucket & Grill

Nautical bowls

Rebel Lobster

The Pork Chop Boys

Nothing, it’s free!

Whiskey Stone 11:00 – 1:30

SHAG 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

Good for Gary 5:30-9:00 p.m.

The event is marked as four-legged friendly. Just make sure your dog is on a leash and, of course, well behaved.

I know that every truck has great food, so when you go, keep an open mind and try something new, you might find that you really like it!
