Up to 35 food trucks full of unique palate-pleasing cuisine will once again roll into Veterans Park, along with live entertainment, a beer garden and more this August in Springfield for the Springfield Rotary Club’s 10th Gourmet Food Truck Competition. There will be anything you can imagine, such as American comfort food and standards such as BBQ, burgers, pizza, seafood and wings, and cuisine from around the world, such as African, Asian, Cajun, Greek, Hawaiian, Indian, Italian and more. And you might find biscuits, brunch, sweet treats and desserts among the delectable delights to be had. So come hungry and stay all day! Proceeds support various Rotary projects including Services to People with Disabilities, Polio Plus (the worldwide eradication of Polio) and the International Project in Lesotho.
Live entertainment will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the Beer Garden will be serving domestics and local craft brews from Springfield’s own Mother Stewart’s Brewing Company. Soda and water is also available to purchase, as well as the food truck’s own selection of beverages.
